CRESTVIEW — Michael Anthony Chessher is sentenced to seven and five years in prison for trafficking methamphetamine — over 28 grams but less than 200 grams — and driving with a suspended license, habitual traffic offender, respectively.
The charges arose from a July 26 incident in the Crestview area. Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office deputies conducted a traffic stop on Chessher's vehicle and he was arrested for driving with a suspended license.
Lawmen found items used to make methamphetamine and a bottle of liquid during an inventory search of the vehicle. Chessher told law enforcement that he was making methamphetamine and the items belonged to him.
Chessher is not eligible for parole.
