Celina Man Sentenced to 10 Years on Drug Charges

Cory D. Gross, 44, of Celina, was sentenced Friday to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to drug charges in Mercer County Common Pleas Court.

Gross received six years for aggravated trafficking in drugs, a first-degree felony, and four years for aggravated possession of drugs, a second-degree felony.

The charges stemmed from a July methamphetamine trafficking case and an October traffic stop in Marion Township, where deputies reported finding approximately 85 grams of suspected methamphetamine.

Passenger Dustin Gross, 45, of St. Marys, faces a separate aggravated possession charge. He has pleaded not guilty and is scheduled to appear in court November 4.
