On July 16, Newcomb pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful possession of LSD, a Class 1 felony, court records show.

The negotiated plea deal included the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office dismissing all of Newcomb’s other charges.

McHenry County Judge Robert Wilbrandt accepted the plea deal and sentenced Newcomb to six years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.

Wilbrandt submitted a formal recommendation for Newcomb to be admitted to the Impact Incarceration Program, which allows for offenders to significantly reduce their sentence if they successfully complete the program.

The investigation was led by Officer Lewandowski of the Crystal Lake Police Department and prosecuted by Judy Shammo of the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office.
