ALICEVILLE, Ala. (AP) -- Alabama Attorney General Troy King said a former Pickens County district judge has pleaded guilty to possession of methamphetamine and was sentenced to 50 months in prison Tuesday.
59-year-old Ira D. Colvin entered a plea agreement in Pickens County Circuit Court, King said. The illegal drug was found in Colvin's Carrollton office in August 2006.
Colvin was already serving a 12 year sentence in Mississippi after pleading guilty to similar offenses in Mississippi.
Colvin was appointed district judge in December 2002 and was removed from the bench following his arrest.
Colvin's sentence in Alabama won't start until he completes his prison term in Mississippi.
