Jefferson City man gets 5 years in prison

A Jefferson City man who was taken into custody following a drug raid last August has been sentenced to five years in prison.

Dominique Helton, 24, who was on parole for burglary, vehicle theft and resisting arrest, pleaded guilty to charges of unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of a defaced firearm and possession of a controlled substance.

He was taken into custody after the Jefferson City Police Department's SWAT team served a search warrant in the 1000 block of Buena Vista Street.

Marijuana, a substance suspected to be a club drug, drug money and a firearm were seized during the search.
