WAYNE COUNTY — A 32-year-old Fairfield man was sentenced Thursday in Wayne County Court to 5-years in prison after he pleaded guilty to felony possession of methamphetamine.

Christopher Hannah pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of Class 3 felony possession of less than 5 grams of meth in exchange for the more serious Class X charges of manufacture of between 400 and 900 grams of meth and possession of between 400 and 900 grams of meth being dismissed.

In February Wayne County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the Fairfield home of 42-year-old Jason Hart after receiving information that drugs were being manufactured inside the home.

A strong chemical odor was noticed when deputies arrived on the scene. Conditions inside were so toxic that the local fire department was contacted to provide self-contained breathing apparatus for deputies entering the home.

Once inside the home deputies reportedly found Hart asleep on a couch in the living room and deputies had to carry him out of the home.

Hannah was located lying against the door of a back bedroom. Deputies had to force their way into that room and also carried Hannah out of the home.

Hannah was transported from the scene by ambulance to Fairfield Memorial Hospital for treatment of exposure to toxic fumes.

Hart was treated at the scene and transported to the Wayne County Jail.

Just days before his arrest and hospitalization, Hannah was scheduled to be sentenced on a 2015 case for felony attempt to foil a drug test. He was ultimately sentenced in that case to and is already serving 2-years in the Illinois Department of Corrections, to be served concurrently with the latest sentence.
