Austin Curtis Peterson had an arraignment hearing this morning in Louisa Circuit Court, where instead of just an arraignment and later scheduling a hearing and sentencing hearing, they did it all at once.
For Drug Possession Schedule I or II Sentenced to 3 years in jail, with the 3 years suspended. 5 years supervised probation.

For Violation of Felony Probation, same as above.

The fleeing and eluding charge is pending update.
Edit for clarity: When someone is sentenced to 3 years, and have 3 years suspended, that means all 3 years of the jail sentence are suspended pending completion of probation. In this instance if Austin makes it all 5 years of probation without messing up, he'd free and clear. If not, he could get part or all of these three years just for messing up a drug test or getting a new charge.
IF he was sentenced to 5 years, with 3 suspended, that would mean you do 2 years in jail/prison.
