LACONIA — A Meredith man was sentenced to time in confinement and ordered to participate in a drug treatment program after pleading guilty to threatening a person with a gun.
David Gilson, 22, of Meredith Center Road, in Meredith, pleaded guilty in Belknap Superior Court Tuesday to a charge of criminal threatening.
Judge James D. O’Neill III sentenced Gilson to nine months in the Belknap County House of Correction, with credit for 29 days he had already spent in confinement prior to the plea-and-sentencing hearing.
O’Neill also ordered Gilson to complete a comprehensive, multiphase treatment program — CORE — for inmates with substance abuse problems.
Gilson also pleaded guilty to possession of methamphetamine.
On that charge O’Neill sentenced Gilson to a suspended 1½- to three-year sentenced in State Prison. The suspended sentenced was conditioned on five years good behavior and successful completion of the CORE program.
According to court records, Gilson pointed a handgun at a person and threatened to shoot the weapon.
