WILMINGTON — A man who saw his intervention-in-lieu-of-conviction rehab plan revoked has been placed on community controls and will start a residency period at STAR Community Justice Center in late July.

Between now and July 25, John B. Morgan, 26, formerly of Wilmington, will be an inmate at the Clinton County Jail. He was in jail on the heroin possession case for 49 days prior to the sentencing hearing.

When granted, the intervention-in-lieu-of-conviction option for drug users provides an opportunity for the defendant to end up without a felony conviction in the case if he or she completes a substance abuse program and any other program as directed by the court’s intervention specialist.

The period of intervention and rehabilitation is initially for 18 months. The court can shorten or lengthen the period of supervision.

Morgan, however, will have a felony on his record after he did not comply with the intervention plan. He violated the plan when he reportedly tested positive for the use of both cocaine and marijuana.

In addition, he was discharged from his treatment program at McKinley Hall Recovery in Springfield for non-compliance.

If Morgan violates the terms of his community controls, he could be sent to prison for 11 months, according to court paperwork.

Judge William B. McCracken (retired) was sitting by assignment for the sentencing hearing, and pronounced the two-year term of community controls, with participation in STAR a component.

Court papers from earlier this year state Morgan did not show up for a sentencing hearing in February; moreover, that Morgan failed to provide the presentence investigation officer needed information as directed; and further that he failed to report for a STAR evaluation at one juncture.
