A Beloit man and an Akron woman, who agreed to cooperate with the prosecution in a methamphetamine-lab case, have been put on probation for three years.
Andrew K. Bourgoujian, 45, and Angela L. Firestone, 32, got probation Wednesday from Judge Lou A. D’Apolito of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court after they agreed to testify against Bryan K. Dilling, 44, of Beloit, had he gone on trial.
Judge D’Apolito sentenced Dilling to five years in prison Monday, after Dilling pleaded guilty as charged to illegal manufacture of drugs, illegal assembly or possession of chemicals for the manufacture of drugs and drug possession.
Bourgoujian pleaded guilty to the illegal assembly or possession charge, drug possession and assault on a Goshen Township police officer.
Firestone pleaded guilty to the illegal assembly or possession charge and drug possession.
After receiving an anonymous tip that Dilling had meth-making materials in a trailer in which he was staying, police knocked on the trailer door in Goshen Township in February 2015 and said they saw the materials in plain view.
