A Marion County Jury deliberated just a half-hour before finding a 31-year-old Centralia man guilty of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance.
Donald Hemmings of Wabash Avenue had been charged with delivering less than a gram of fentanyl on July 6th, 2020 by Centralia Police. He had been taken into custody during a traffic stop after police say they witnessed a hand-to-hand drug transaction take place in plain view. Centralia Police investigators had set up in the area after receiving complaints in the area about drug trafficking.
Sentencing was set for June 30th. Judge Mark Stedelin revoked Hemmings’ bond and ordered him held in the Marion County Jail until sentencing.
