June 27, 2017 |
A Davenport, Washington, drug dealer who used a
16-year-old girl in the worst possible way while
transporting meth in Boundary County has been
sentenced to a 20-month fixed term in Idaho
prison with a maximum of seven years.
According to court documents, David G. Hanks,
45, was arrested by Bonners Ferry Police Officer
Willie Cowell February 11 after being caught
traveling in Boundary County with a 16-year-old
girl in his care and 28 grams of methamphetamine
in his possession, four grams found secreted in
the girl's vagina.
Hanks was charged with trafficking
methamphetamines, a charge later amended to
possession with intent to deliver, and with
felony injury to a child. He subsequently pled
guilty to both charges.
He was sentenced last week by Judge Barbara
Buchanan to 20 months in prison, determinate, 64
months indeterminate, a $500 fine, $500
reimbursement to the county, and $931 costs. |
