Meth theft nets Missouri man eight years

摘要

Newark,111.-The state's attorney doesn't think eight years in prison is overly severe for a Missouri man who teamed with a partner to steal anhydrous ammonia from a Newark co-op and sell the agriculture chemical to meth makers in Illinois and Missouri."Given his background and the nature of the offense it's not stiff at all,"Kendall County State's Attorney Eric Weis said of the sentence handed Michael Ray Miller,52,of Wappapello,Mo.,for unlawful possession of anhydrous ammonia in the theft last Dec.1."We take it very seriously combining the anhydrous ammonia and the methamphetamine problem,"Weis remarked.
