EPHRATA - A Quincy man is serving more than 90 days in jail after selling about a pound of marijuana to a police informant.

Francisco Gonzalez Jimenez, 49, pleaded guilty to delivery of marijuana and possession with the intent to manufacture or deliver marijuana in Grant County Superior Court.

Gonzalez Jimenez had no prior convictions leading to a sentencing range of zero to six months in jail for the current convictions.

If prosecutors decided to proceed to trial, Prosecutor Angus Lee stated Gonzalez Jimenez likely would have received a three month sentence.

"(Gonzalez) Jimenez was willing to plead guilty in exchange for an agreement to recommend that same sentence so it only made sense to do so," he stated.

Grant County Superior Court Judge John Antosz sentenced the man to 92 days in jail.

Gonzalez Jimenez agreed to sell a police informant a pound of marijuana in April, according to an Interagency Narcotics Enforcement Team report. An officer watching the suspect's home spotted two trucks pull into the man's driveway, and unload several large bags of marijuana and several five gallon white buckets, before Gonzalez Jimenez left the residence with 1.2 pounds of marijuana.

Police arrested Gonzalez Jimenez at the residence after the sale was complete, according to the police report. He admitted to selling the drug for about eight weeks after receiving it from a man in California.

Investigators found four bags of marijuana totaling 2.5 pounds, hanging under the man's bed in his Quincy home.
