LUDINGTON — A 35-year-old Fountain man was sentenced to three to 20 years in prison in 51st Circuit Court Tuesday, Feb. 16, for convictions of weapons – possession by a felon and fourth-offense habitual offender.

Isaiah G. Gardenhire, 35, of 5114 N. Cleveland St., Fountain, was arrested last December by the Mason County Sheriff’s Office for felonies of receiving and concealing weapons/firearms; felony firearm (two counts); possession of weapons by a felon; and fourth-offense habitual offender. The three other charges were dismissed in a plea agreement.

Gardenhire, who received credit for three days served in jail, was ordered by Judge Susan Sniegowski to go directly into custody.
