(From the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office)

Andrew Joseph Sanchez, 35, of Joplin, Missouri, was sentenced to 30 months imprisonment earlier this week in Cherokee County District Court.

On May 8, 2024, Cherokee County Sheriff's Deputies encountered Sanchez when he drove off the road southeast of Crestline. During that encounter, they discovered Sanchez had warrants for his arrest from Kansas and California. Sanchez was placed under arrest and found to be in possession of narcotics.








In July, Sanchez pled guilty to Possessing Methamphetamine. He will remain in the Cherokee County Jail until his transfer to the Kansas Prison System.

Sanchez was prosecuted by the Office of Cherokee County Attorney Kurt Benecke.
