Sentences

• Jeremy Jackson’s sentencing hearing was held May 17 after previously pleading guilty to two felony counts of passing a bad check, four counts of felony forgery, one count of second-degree burglary and two counts of felony stealing as a prior and persistent felony offender for events that occurred in 2021 in Dent County. The state requested Jackson serve a total of 15 years in the Missouri Department of Corrections due to his extensive prior criminal history and creation of victims in the community. Jackson, through his attorney, requested a sentence of a one-year drug rehabilitation program in the department of corrections under Missouri Statute 217.362. The court ordered a 15-year sentence, but retained jurisdiction under 217.362, as requested by the defendant, and over the objection of the state and Prosecutor Andrew Curley.
