After more than two years in court, Garnett’s, Tom Emerson, is expected to plead guilty next month to two drug-related felonies in a plea agreement with prosecutors, which drops more than 10 other felony charges against him, in exchange for the guilty plea. Emerson and prosecutors signed the agreement last week after the initial 13 felony charges complaint against him was amended. The 2020 case revolved around allegations Emerson procured and distributed methamphetamine as a party favor to arrange sex guests at his Garnett home in a effort to enhance their sexual experiences.
In the signed plea agreement, Emerson admits to a charge of possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute and a single count of possession of drug paraphernalia–both felonies.
The affidavit says Emerson told officers he never sold the drug, but provided it free to his guests. Most of the original felony charges stemmed from Emerson’s use of a communication device– a cell phone– to transact drug deals. Sentencing is set for August 22nd at 1:00 in the afternoon.
