A Eureka man was recently sentenced for possessing psilocybin mushrooms.

Gunnar Lee Shelton, 20, got a one-year deferred sentence May 20 from Lincoln County District Judge Matt Cuffe. He received credit for serving 12 days in the county jail. According to his attorney, public defender Ben Kolter, Shelton would have no issues with paying $1,030 in restitution.

Shelton initially pleaded not guilty, but later changed his plea on March 25 to one felony count of possession of dangerous drugs.
