A Riverton Man is sentenced in a burglary and methamphetamine case. 34-year-old John Wesley Potter is sentenced to 30 months in prison after pleading guilty in Cherokee County District Court.

The charges stem from a November 2020 incident, where Cherokee County Sheriff's Deputies responded to the burglary of a Riverton home and subsequently arrested Potter, who was also found to be in possession of methamphetamine. Potter was prosecuted by the Cherokee County Attorney's Office and is being held in the Cherokee County Jail pending transfer to the Kansas Department of Corrections.
