Burlington man to prison for marijuana

Friday, November 16, 2007

Odell M. Van Patten of Burlington has been sentenced to prison for a conviction of attempted sale of marijuana.

Coffey County District Judge Phillip M. Fromme on Nov. 9 sentenced Van Patten, 26, to a controlling term of 14 months in prison.

Coffey County Attorney Doug Witteman filed charges against Van Patten in May, after Burlington police found evidence of drug trafficking during execution of a search warrant at Van Patten’s home in Burlington.

Coffey County Sheriff’s officers also were involved in the investigation, Witteman said.
