LACONIA — A Meredith man received a suspended sentence for drug possession after pleading guilty to a reduced charge.
Christopher Klaft, 47, of Water Street in Meredith, pleaded guilty in Belknap Superior Court Tuesday to a misdemeanor-level charge of possession of a controlled drug.
Judge Tina Nadeau gave Klaft a suspended one-year sentence on condition of two years good behavior. She also levied a $434 fine, which was also suspended on condition of two years good behavior.
Klaft had been facing a charge of possessing the opioid pain reliever buprenorphine — a felony.
