Prison sentence ordered for Westminster man
An Oconee trial ended yesterday with guilty verdicts and a sentence that sends a Westminster man to prison for one year. The General Sessions jury found Sonny Sloan Peay guilty of resisting arrest and possession of meth first offense. Judge Sprouse ordered a one-year term for resisting arrest and sentenced the 51-year old Peay to three years suspended to five years probation for meth possession. Testifying in his own defense, Peay accused a Westminster police officer of planting the drug on his possession.
