HUTCHINSON, Kan. — After the sentencing hearing for a 28-year-old Hutchinson man convicted in a drug distribution case was continued, its again scheduled for Friday.
Raymond Kimball was convicted for possession of cocaine with intent to sell, possession of marijuana with a prior conviction and possession of drug paraphernalia with intent to package. The state as part of the agreement dropped the severity level of the cocaine charge and also dropped a drug tax stamp violation.
The case centers on Drug Unit Detectives finding a white rocky substance, green leafy vegetation, a digital scale and new and used packaging inside a Hutchinson home while serving a search warrant. The white rocky substance was cocaine and weighed about 25 grams. The green leafy substance was marijuana and weighed about 4.3 grams.

He has another charge of failing to register as a drug offender pending.
Local man faces sentencing in drug case Friday
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 28-year-old Hutchinson man who entered a plea to an amended complaint that includes nine charges is scheduled for sentencing Friday.
Benito Montalbo entered “no contest” pleas to possession of morphine, possession of marijuana with a prior conviction, five counts of possession of a controlled substance with a prior conviction, possession of drug paraphernalia, and driving while suspended. The state in exchange agreed to not file additional charges against the defendant.
Montalbo was stopped by a Reno County Sheriff Deputy back on Jan. 21 of last year at 6th & Porter when the deputy apparently knew his driver’s license was suspended. Allegedly on his person was a small plastic bag of synthetic marijuana or K-2. On the console of his vehicle was a small amount of marijuana, morphine pills, other various types of pills and zigzag rolling papers.
The two sides will be able to argue disposition in the case when he’s sentenced in front of Judge Tim Chambers.
