One of the four suspects arrested early this year on charges of dealing methamphetamine was sentenced in Montgomery Circuit Court last week.

Christopher J. Harshman, 23, pleaded guilty to neglect of a dependent and dealing in methamphetamine.

Judge Thomas Milligan sentenced Harshman to one year in the Montgomery County Jail, five years on house arrest and four years probation.

Milligan dropped charges of possession of precursors, possession of meth, possession of paraphernalia and maintaining a common nuisance in exchange for Harshman’s plea.

Harshman was arrested after police searched the Crawfordsville apartment he shared, 2019 Cloverleaf Court, at the request of a probation officer.

Crawfordsville Police Officer Todd Huckstep reported finding an operational meth lab in the kitchen, meth in other areas of the apartment and materials commonly used for making and ingesting the illegal drug.

Shannon Lanier, 25, and Ashley Johnson, 19, also lived at the apartment, police said.
