Lexington County, SC (WLTX) - A 30-year-old man was sentenced to 15 years for trafficking methamphetamine.
Robert Tyler Geiger was reportedly found with an ounce of approximately $3,000 worth of "ice," a crystallized form of methamphetamine, during a sobriety checkpoint on August 20, 2017.
Plastic bags and a digital scale were also discovered during a further search.
“Methamphetamine presents an ever increasing public health and safety issue for Lexington County," said Eleventh Circuit Assistant Solicitors Matt Edgerton. "The job these Troopers do isn’t easy, it’s often thankless, and I applaud their continued commitment to ensuring the safety of Lexington County residents.”
Geiger opted to enter a guilty plea instead of going forward with a trial, which was scheduled to begin this week. His prior record includes methamphetamine and other controlled substances convictions.
