IRONTON â State charges of trafficking in more than 400 grams of meth were dismissed after a Wheelersburg, Ohio, man was indicted on similar charges in federal court in Cincinnati, according to Lawrence County Prosecutor Brigham Anderson.
Fred R. Aldridge, 40, of Ohio River Road, Wheelersburg, was charged in U.S. District Court in Cincinnati with possession with intent to distribute more than 50 grams of meth, according to court records.
Aldridge pleaded guilty to an unrelated drug charge last week in Lawrence County Common Pleas Court. Judge Andy Ballard sentenced him to five months in prison and gave him credit for five months of time served.
