WORTHINGTON — Worthington resident Jay Syhavong was committed to 18 months in a correctional facility on Wednesday, during a Nobles County Fifth District Court sentencing.
Syhavong, 27, was arrested in February on charges of fleeing a peace officer and fifth-degree drug possession, as well as two misdemeanor counts of possession of marijuana and fleeing a peace officer by means other than a motor vehicle.
Having entered a guilty plea, all other charges were dismissed, aside from the fifth-degree possession for which Syhavong was convicted. His sentence was not a departure from the guidelines recommended by the state.
Along with the 18 months Syhavong was sentenced to, with 106 days credit for time served, he will also be expected to pay $85 in court fees. His sentence consists of a minimum term of imprisonment equal to two-thirds of the total sentence.
