A 32-year-old Salem man was sentenced to five years in prison in Marion County Court Friday after earlier pleading guilty to three felony charges.

Cory Hodge received a five-year sentence for burglary to a building on South Poplar in Centralia where Centralia Police say cash was stolen in January.   He received a four-year concurrent term for a May 2018 charge of possession of less than five grams of methamphetamine.   Hodge received another three-year prison term for unlawful possession of a controlled substance, Tramadol, in December of 2016.

The five years in prison will be followed by two years of mandatory supervised release.   Hodge will also get credit for time already served in the Marion County Jail.
