Providence Forge man to serve two months for drug possession

A Providence Forge man will serve two months in jail after receiving formal sentencing for possessing cocaine in 2014.

Michael Lee Wallace, 44, of the 11000 block of Canora Lane, learned his sentence during Friday morning proceedings in Charles City Circuit Court.

Last September, Wallace accepted a plea deal and entered guilty pleas to two counts of possession of cocaine. During a summary of evidence, Wallace was found to have the substance on him when he interacted with a confidential informant on Aug. 15, 2014.

Wallace received 10-year sentences on each of the possession charges. Nine years, 10 months were suspended on the first count while all 10 years on the second count were suspended.
