A Bethlehem man was sentenced to a county prison term on Tuesday after previously pleading guilty to several charges related to drug activity and drunken driving.

Joseph John Giles, 30, was sentenced by President Judge Roger N. Nanovic II to serve a total of three months and three days to 12 months in prison.Giles, formerly of Slatington, had entered pleas in three pending cases. He pleaded to driving under the influence, possession of a controlled substance, and processing materials used in the operation of a methamphetamine lab.Giles was arrested on the possession count on June 8, 2014, by agents of the state Attorney General's Office. Following the arrest, authorities received information from a source that Giles was operating a meth lab at 115B Lehigh St. in Palmerton. Agents went to the address and learned that Giles gave the materials used in the meth lab to another person to dispose of.The DUI occurred on April 23, 2014, along Canal Road, where he was stopped by Franklin Township police. A test showed he was under the influence of a controlled substance.Giles' attorney, John Waldron of Allentown, told the court his client has addressed a drug addiction problem by entering and successfully completing inpatient rehab programs. He said he still attends counseling sessions.Giles told the court, "I'm a new person."In addition to the prison term, Nanovic also placed him on probation for six months on the possession count. On the DUI charge he was sentenced to serve 72 hours to six months in jail, a fine of $1,000 and license suspended for a year. The prison term runs consecutive to a three- to six-month term on the drug materials count which totals to the three months and three days to 12 months.He was given credit for time spent in prison of the charges and for time spent in the inpatient programs.As a result he still must serve three days on the drug sentence and three days on the DUI charge to serve. Nanovic also imposed zero tolerance for drug and alcohol use, must pay court costs of about $1,000 and a $50 monthly supervision fee while on parole.Giles was sentenced to serve the first three days beginning at 8

p.m.Oct. 28; and the second three days beginning at 8 p.m. Nov. 4.
