The former executive director at the Marshall Care and Share program was sentenced in Marshall County Superior Court No. 1 on Wednesday morning. He was accused of drug dealing and solicitation of prostitution at the time of his arrest in August 2017.
James A. Irwin, 69, pleaded guilty in an amended plea agreement with the state to a Level 6 felony count of dealing in a schedule II controlled substance and a Class A misdemeanor charge of patronizing a prostitute. Judge Robert O. Bowen accepted the plea agreement that calls for two years of incarceration on the felony charge and one year of incarceration on the misdemeanor charge. Those counts are to be served concurrently, or at the same time.
