Nov. 2—Walking away from a court-ordered long-term rehab program did not prove a good choice for a Cumberland County man who now must serve the balance of his sentence.
Joshua Ray Cox pleaded guilty on Nov. 15, 2022, to an information charging felon in possession of a weapon and simple possession. He received a two-year sentence with 30 days to serve and the balance on furlough to Hope Center Ministries, a long-term in-house treatment facility.
The charge stems from an Oct. 25, 2022, arrest during a CPD traffic stop on Peavine Rd. During which a rifle and small amount of meth was found. As a convicted felon in an unrelated case, Cox is banned from owning, possessing or being around weapons.
Cox went to the rehab program but only stayed about a month.
Cox was given that opportunity after he failed drug tests administered as a condition of his probation and then failed to report.
Assistant District Attorney Allison Null told Criminal Court Judge Gary McKenzie Cox should be required to serve the balance of his sentence and McKenzie agreed.
During the probation revocation hearing, McKenzie revoked probation and ordered the sentence to be put into effect.
