Cantonment Man Gets 10 Additional Years In Drug Case

December 23, 2014

A Cantonment man has been sentenced to another 10 years in state prison following another drug related conviction.

Johnathan Wayne Glass, 38, was convicted by a Santa Rosa County jury of trafficking in methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. Immediately following the trial, Santa

Rosa County Circuit Court Judge John F. Simon sentenced Glass to 10 years in state prison with a minimum mandatory of three years.  Judge Simon ordered the 10 year sentence to run consecutively to a 15 year prison sentence he had previously imposed on Glass in September.

On February 21, 2013, members of the Santa Rosa Sheriff’s Office  Narcotics Unit executed a search warrant at the residence Glass shared with his girlfriend, Victoria Cain, at Piney Woods Place Apartments in  Milton.

During the execution of the search warrant, officers found a trafficking amount of methamphetamine along with drug paraphernalia and numerous  other items used to manufacture methamphetamine.

The search warrant had been obtained after Glass brought sulfuric acid into the home on February 20, to use during the process of manufacturing  methamphetamine. Glass left the bottle of acid on a bathroom counter where a 3-year old child drank the acid.  As a result, Glass was charged and convicted on September 18, 2014, by a Santa Rosa County Jury of  child neglect causing great bodily harm, permanent disability, or permanent disfigurement.  Judge Simon sentenced Glass to 15 years in prison in that case.

Glass is also charged with conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine and unlawful possession of listed chemicals. Those charges are set for trial on January 20, 2015.  He faces a maximum possible sentence of 30 years in prison in that case.

Victoria Cain was also arrested as a result of her involvement and entered a plea to aggravated child abuse, child abuse causing great bodily harm, trafficking in methamphetamine, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of prescription drugs without a prescription, conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine and unlawful possession of listed chemical.

Cain testified at both trials against Glass. She is set for sentencing on February 4, 2015, before Circuit Judge Marci Goodman and faces a maximum possible sentence of 135 years.

    So she testifies against him and is facing 135 yrs(doesn’t seem long enough)? He’s looking at a max of 55. I’d say she took the wrong deal. Before you say it,I believe both defendants should never see the light of day again. Prayers for this poor child
