COEUR d'ALENE - A North Idaho businessman and former Post Falls Chamber of Commerce board member was sentenced Friday to two years of probation for felony heroin possession.

Adam M. Johnson, 27, of Coeur d'Alene, also must complete 100 hours of community service and 20 days on the Kootenai County Sheriff's Department's labor program.

Johnson pleaded guilty to the possession charge. A misdemeanor paraphernalia possession charge was dismissed as part of a plea deal. He was arrested in April.

Johnson received a withheld judgment on the drug charge, so if he completes probation without violations the case against him will be dismissed.

Johnson told The Press the sentence matched the crime, and he's anxious to move on with his life.

"I think I have a lot more to offer than warming a bed in jail," Johnson said. "I'm working toward becoming an integral member of the community, as I once was."

A police report said Post Falls SWAT team members entered a home at 4990 E. Frazier Drive believing there was ongoing illegal drug activity there. Johnson was among the people inside.

He was located in a bedroom, where police found a syringe loaded with a brown liquid that police said was heroin.

Johnson helped found a telecommunications business, Convertec, in 2004. He said it's operating now on a "very limited" basis.

Johnson also was charged in Kootenai County in connection with a shooting in downtown Coeur d'Alene in December 2009.

He was the alleged shooter in that confrontation, which sent two Moses Lake, Wash., men to the hospital.

In that case, he was sentenced to 10 days in jail for carrying a concealed weapon while under the influence, a misdemeanor.

A grand jury decided against felony charges.
