Jevonte Tijuan Chase

La Plata, MD – Jevonte Tijuan Chase, 34 of Indian Head, is heading to the Maryland Department of Corrections for four years.

Chase faced sentencing in Charles County Circuit Court Tuesday, March 22 before Judge H. James West in La Plata on distribution of crack cocaine charges.

Defense Attorney Marcus Allen entered the plea on Chaseโ€™s behalf Jan. 26.

โ€œYou are going along with this sentence,โ€ West asked Chase.

โ€œIt took some bargaining,โ€ Allen admitted.

โ€œOn count one, distribution of cocaine, the agreed upon sentence is four years with no probation,โ€ West said, adding that Chaseโ€™s sentence began Jan. 26.

โ€œThis is what you agreed to,โ€ West told Chase. โ€œInstead of parole and probation, you agree to serve the balance of your sentence.โ€
