A Hutchinson man who entered guilty pleas involving a meth lab in a storage shed north of Hutchinson was expected to be sentenced today, but that will now happen Wednesday morning at 8:30 a-m.

Jason Casanova will be sentenced on several felony charges associated with the meth lab which was discovered after a search warrant was served on a storage unit he was renting at 6210 North Tobacco Road. That was back on August 31, of last year.

He entered a pleas to conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine, possession of lithium and possession of anhydrous ammonia, both with intent to manufacture, possession of anhydrous ammonia in an unapproved container, possession of drug paraphernalia, theft, and possession of ephedrine.

The first search warrant was for the thought that Casanova may have stashed the gun used to shoot Jennifer Heckel at that location. During the preliminary hearing for murder suspects Billy Craig Jr., and Charles Christopher Logsdon, it came to light that Casanova was told to get rid of the murder weapon after the shooting. While searching for the gun, police then allegedly discovered the items to manufacture methamphetamine and the got a second search warrant on those items.

Both sides will be recommending 36-months community corrections in this case, however, that doesn’t mean he’ll be released. He apparently has a hold out of Sedgwick County, and still faces a federal indictment on a gun charge.

In federal court, he’s charged with unlawful possession of a firearm after a felony conviction. The crime is alleged to have occurred on Aug. 1st, of last year. If convicted on the federal charge, Casanova faces a maximum penalty of 10-years in federal prison and a fine up to 250-thousand dollars.
