A Carbon County man was sentenced to a state prison term on Monday after admitting he violated the conditions of Megan’s Law as a sexual offender.

Jahmir Joseph Spencer, 23, of Lehighton, and formerly of Lansford, pleaded guilty before Judge Steven R. Serfass to one count of failure to verify address/be photographed, a felony.

He was arrested by Mahoning Township police after they received a report from the state police that Spencer had not registered with them as required. Police said Spencer is required to register his address and employment with state police annually. He failed to do so and troopers notified Mahoning police because Spencer’s last address was in the township. Mahoning could not verify his address being in Mahoning and the charges were filed.

Spencer is in the county prison on the charges.

Serfass sentenced him to serve 15 to 30 months in a state prison with credit for 298 days already served. He must also pay court costs of more than $1,000.
