Former Crockett County Judge Shannon Jones, who admitted to making meth, was sentenced to six months in federal prison, Thursday. Jones’ attorney told 7 Eyewitness News he will be informed at a later date when and where he must surrender himself to federal authorities. After six months, Jones will be on probation for three years. He was arrested in February of last year at his home in Friendship. Drug agents reported finding finished meth and a lot of meth making materials, enough to warrant the federal charges. Previously, Jones pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess and manufacture methamphetamine. Jones served as a general sessions judge in Crockett County from 2000 to 2006.
