According to Hamilton County State’s Attorney Justin Hood, Landon L. Benbrook was arrested on two separate cases around midnight Tuesday for 5 counts of unlawful delivery of methamphetamine. The classification of the charges are three Class 2 felonies and two Class 1 felonies based on different weights of the methamphetamine during each delivery.
