Police videotape shows suspect with meth

A videotape aided in the conviction of a prior drug offender caught possessing methamphetamine. On Thursday, Circuit Judge Benjamin Lewis sentenced Jesse Vohn Dorris, 35, of Cape Girardeau to 10 years in prison.

Dorris hid a bag of methamphetamine in his sock while he was at the Jackson Police Department on Feb. 6. At the trial, the jury watched a videotape of an officer booking him on another offense. At the end of the booking, Dorris was asked to remove his shoes. When two packages of meth were found in one sock, the officer held them up and asked what it was.

Dorris said, "Another charge, I guess."

Because he was a prior offender, he was given a range up punishment up to 15 years in prison, and not the normal seven years.
