An Erda man is facing felony drug charges in connection to a stop by his probation officer back in September.
Fredrick Leroy Stuckman, 52, is charged with two counts of second-degree felony possession with intent to distribute and one count of misdemeanor manufacture of drug paraphernalia.
According to a probable cause statement, an adult probation and parole agent came upon Stuckman while he was sitting inside his parked vehicle. The agent saw a “glob” of heroin on the floor of the passenger side of the vehicle after making contact with Stuckman.
In the resulting search of the vehicle, the agent found several baggies of methamphetamine totaling 6.7 grams, the probable cause statement said. An additional 2.4 grams of heroin were found in seven baggies inside the car.
The search also turned up several items of paraphernalia and $327 in cash, the statement said. Stuckman claimed all of the drugs and paraphernalia belonged to him.
In May, Stuckman pleaded guilty in Salt Lake’s 3rd District Court to misdemeanor counts of possession or use of a controlled substance and driving with measurable amounts of a controlled substance and was placed on 36 months probation. He also pleaded guilty to misdemeanor attempted aggravated assault and was sentenced to 36 months at the same court appearance.
In May 2012, Stuckman had pleaded guilty to third-degree felony possession or use of a controlled substance and was sentenced to 30 days in the Tooele County Detention Center and 36 months probation. He completed community service hours and supervision with adult probation and parole was terminated so he could move to California.
Stuckman is scheduled to make his first appearance in Tooele’s 3rd District Court at 10:28 a.m. on Nov. 7 before Judge Robert Adkins.
