(Anderson, SC). Forty-four year old Anthony Mattison of Anderson was found guilty by an Anderson County jury today. The Honorable Lawton McIntosh sentenced Mattison to twenty-five years in prison. 

On April 11, 2007, officers from the Anderson Police Department arrested Mattison for Open Container. In a search pursuant to the arrest, crack cocaine was found in Mr. Mattison’s genitalia. He was subsequently charged with Possession with Intent to Distribute Crack Cocaine, third offense. 

“Keeping the community safe means taking drugs off our streets. We are very pleased with the jury’s verdict and the Judge’s sentence in this case which will keep a repeat drug offender in prison for the next twenty-five years,” commented Solicitor Chrissy Adams.
