Knox County District Attorney Charme Allen says a Knoxville man is sentenced after he passed out and crashed into a garage.

Knoxville Police went to a home on Orangewood Road on May 8th last year after 33-year-old Jeremiah Mills drove off the road and crashed into a garage.

Officers found Mills unresponsive in the driver’s seat of the car. After giving him several doses of naloxone, he regained consciousness and told officers he didn’t take any drugs.

However, Allen says officers saw a bag laying at his feet containing 33 grams of methamphetamine and another bag containing fentanyl.

Mills was convicted of possession with intent to sell methamphetamine, driving under the influence and reckless endangerment in January, and on Monday, he was ordered to serve 15 years in prison.

Allen added that Mills, who was identified as a member of the Crips, also has three prior felony convictions for drug dealing, weapons and tampering with evidence offenses. Additionally, the sentence in this case will run consecutively to another case because he was on parole at the time of this incident.
