Johnson City Man Pleads Guilty in Knox County for Weapon and Drug Charges

A Johnson City man is sentenced after he pleaded guilty to several counts involving drugs and weapons.

Knox County District Attorney Charme Allen says 34-year-old William Jacob Henry is charged with unlawful possession of a weapon, possession with intent to sell fentanyl and meth among other charges in an incident that happened in April 2023.

Knoxville Police responded to a call about impaired people in a car in the parking lot of Kroger on Chapman Highway and found Henry and another person passed out and officers found about 59 grams of meth, 54 grams of fentanyl and a handgun.

Allen says Henry has ten prior felony convictions out of Washington County for aggravated assault, theft and vehicle burglary.
