He was placed on probation,but violated the terms after being arrested on another meth possession charge.

As a result, Cessna was sentenced to 3 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) and will be on up to 6 months of mandatory supervised release on both charges Wednesday in Lawrence County Circuit Court.

The sentences will run concurrently.
