(La Porte, IN) - It’s practically like staying home for a man receiving extended prison time for selling methamphetamine in La Porte.

 

Timothy Applegate, 46, was given a 10-year prison sentence Wednesday in La Porte Circuit Court along with two years on probation.

 

Judge Tom Alevizos also ordered Applegate into drug treatment.  If he successfully completes the program, Applegate, after serving three-years, can petition the court for a reduction in his sentence.

 

According to court documents, Applegate was found guilty of selling methamphetamine on two separate occasions at a gas station on East Lincolnway in 2019.

 

Currently, Applegate is behind bars on past offenses and won’t begin serving his most recent sentence until he completely pays his debt to society for the previous crimes. The New Carlisle man has a long history of convictions on drug-related and other offenses in additional counties including St. Joseph, Porter, Kosciusko and Wabash.
