A
Port St. Joe man is facing up to 30 years in prison after he was
convicted of selling drugs within 1000 feet of a church.
On
January 18th a Circuit Court Jury in Port St. Joe deliberated for
about thirty minutes before returning a guilty verdict against
Ezekial Register III also known as “Trey”.
The
charge stemmed from an investigation conducted by the Port St. Joe
Police Department in response to complaints of drug activity in
neighborhoods around some of the local churches.
Assistant
State Attorney Gary Pack proved that Register sold $40 worth of crack
cocaine within 1000 feet of the Bethel A.M.E. Church in Port St. Joe
on April 26, 2016.
Register
will be sentenced for the crime in February.
