Knapp sentenced to 20 years in prison

     On Sept. 26, Toby Knapp was sentenced to an indeterminate term not to exceed five years in prison on four separate matters, to be run consecutively to one another. Knapp will have criminal convictions entered on one felony count of possession with intent to deliver marijuana, two felony counts of failure to affix a drug tax stamp (one as it relates to marijuana and one as it relates to methamphetamine), is having his probation revoked and his sentenced imposed on assault on a peace officer, and felony interference with official acts.
