OTTO EARL HARRINGTON, 52, of Muscatine, was sentenced after pleading guilty to eluding and possession of a controlled substance, methamphetamine.

HARRINGTON attempted to flee from the deputy but crashed his car. A search of the area around his crashed vehicle revealed a personal-use quantity of methamphetamine. The Court imposed a prison sentence totaling not to exceed five years for the two offenses.
