Drug Case Among 5 Settled by Rochester Man's Plea Agreement

31-year-old Jervontia Allen of Rochester was arrested following a traffic stop in July of 2024 in the 3100 block of Wellner Dr. NE in Rochester. 

Olmsted County Sheriff’s deputies reported seeing drug paraphernalia in the vehicle and conducted a search, which led to the discovery of 27.5 grams of suspected cocaine, according to the sheriff’s office report. 

There was also cannabis in the vehicle that was stored in a non-compliant package. 

Allen was charged with felony third degree drug possession, a gross misdemeanor count of driving with a canceled license-inimical to public safety, and a misdemeanor charge for allegedly having an open package of cannabis in a motor vehicle. 

In May of this year, Allen was charged with failure to appear after no-showing a court hearing in the 2024 drug case, according to court records. 

Under the terms of the plea deal, Allen admitted to the third-degree drug possession charge, failure to appear count and two counts of third-degree DWI. All other charges were dismissed. 

A sentencing date has not yet been set.
