A Carbon County man was sentenced to a prison term on Tuesday in the county court after pleading guilty to a drug-dealing charge.

Adam Joseph Schaeffer, 32, of Jim Thorpe, pleaded to one count of criminal use of a communication facility, a felony 3. In exchange for the plea four other counts of the same charge were dropped.

He was arrested on May 27, 2020, when he was picked up on a bench warrant by Nesquehoning police. He had in his possession a cellphone. Police got a search warrant for the phone and found multiple calls arranging drug sales.

Schaeffer, currently an inmate in the county prison, told the court, “I want to get this past me. I want to get on with my life.”

President Judge Roger N. Nanovic II sentenced Schaeffer to serve nine to one day less 24 months in the county prison and ordered him to get a drug and alcohol evaluation and follow any recommendation for treatment, supply a DNA sample, pay court costs of over $1,000 and pay a $50 per month supervision fee while on parole.

He was given credit for 16 days already served.
