MARION COUNTY — Two Marion County men were sentenced in court today to prison, after their probation was revoked in separate felony cases.
The court initially sentenced 21-year-old Asante Poore of Centralia to 5-years TASC probation, after he pleaded guilty in 2014 to a Class 1 felony charge of residential burglary. He acknowledged today in Marion County Court a petition to revoke that probation, and was sentenced to 5-years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.
Poore was given credit for 119 days served, and will have to serve 2-years mandatory supervised release at the end of his prison term. Per Tuesday’s plea agreement, a 2016 felony charge of possessing 30-100 grams of cannabis was dismissed.
Also sentenced today in Marion County Court was 23-year-old Wade Evans, of Sandoval. Evans was initially pleaded guilty in 2012 to Class 2 felony burglary.
He was sentenced at that time to 5-years TASC probation and has had that probation revoked two other times before being sentenced Tuesday to 4-years in the Illinois Department of Corrections on a third revocation in that case. He was given credit for 100 days served and was recommended for Impact Incarceration, also known as boot camp.
