Bay County man now faces 21 years prison for drug sales

March 7, 2007

State Attorney Steve Meadows announces the conviction, and sentencing, of Keijo Stovall, in Bay County Circuit Court, on a charge of delivery of cocaine.

The four females, two males jury deliberated about one hour before finding Stovall, 24, of a West 23rd Street, Panama City, address, guilty of delivering cocaine to an undercover operative on June 9, 2005.

Stovall had been previously sentenced, for another sale which occurred the same day, to nine years in prison. Circuit Court Judge Judy M. Pittman sentenced Stovall to 12 years in prison, to be served consecutively to the nine years. Florida law requires that an inmate serve at least 85 per cent of the time sentenced.
