A Blairsville man was sentenced yesterday to serve 18 months of house arrest for his guilty plea to a single charge of drug delivery resulting in death, plus other drug offenses, stemming from the December 2017 death of his cousin. In exchange for his guilty plea, 32-year-old Shawn Ray Jodon will not be prosecuted for four other charges. A dozen more had earlier been withdrawn.
The husband of 22-year-old Brittany Nicole Adamson told police he and his wife had bought their drugs from Jodon. Adamson was found in her Derry Township home with numerous needle punctures on her hands and police found eleven empty stamp bags in her purse. She died from a fentanylt overdose at Excela Latrobe Hospital.
The house arrest is a component of a seven-year term of probation that Judge Christopher Feliciani imposed. Jodon also must perform 100 hours of community service.
