PALESTINE — A 36-year-old Palestine man will be sentenced in December after being found guilty of two drug charges Wednesday by an Anderson County jury.

A 12-person jury deliberated for slightly more than a hour Wednesday before finding Ross McMorris III, 36, of Palestine guilty of possession of a controlled substance 4-to-200 grams with intent to deliver and possession of marijuana between 4 ounces and 5 pounds.

Following completion of a pre-sentencing investigation, McMorris is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 17 by 349th State District Judge Pam Foster Fletcher.

The delivery charge is punishable by five-to-99 years or life in prison.
