HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The sentencing for an Arizona man convicted of being in possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and conspiracy to distribute marijuana has been pushed back one week.
Dominic Holder was convicted for having around 44 pounds of marijuana on April 15, 2017, and conspired to distribute with Alyssa Holler. The state alleges that both traveled together in separate vehicles when they were stopped for speeding in Reno County. They were apparently taking the marijuana from Mesa, Arizona, to Indianapolis, Indiana.
Deputy District Attorney Tom Stanton wanted more time after the defense filed a 10-page motion Thursday seeking some form of departure when sentencing happens. Stanton said he could not come up with a response to that motion with so little time.
Reno County District Judge Trish Rose agreed to the continuance. Sentencing will be next Friday.
Holler has already entered a plea in this case and was granted three years community corrections.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — An Arizona man convicted of being in possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and conspiracy to distribute marijuana is scheduled to be sentenced Friday.
Dominic Holder was convicted for having around 44 pounds of marijuana on April 15, 2017, and conspired to distribute with Alyssa Holler. The state alleges that both traveled together in separate vehicles when they were stopped for speeding in Reno County.
They were apparently taking the marijuana from Mesa, Arizona, to Indianapolis, Indiana. Holler testified at the trial that she agreed to help Holder because she cared about him. With the money he provided, she rented a car and they left Arizona the day before the traffic stop.
Holler has already entered a plea in this case and was granted three years community corrections.
The sentencing is scheduled in front of District Judge Trish Rose.
