Sentencing is scheduled in December for a man charged in connection with an unusual incident at the Belt and Faraon last month.

Jeremiah Sweet pleaded guilty this week to one class-d felony count of unlawful use of a firearm. According to online court records, Buchanan County Circuit Judge Patrick Robb scheduled sentencing December 9.

Sweet was charged after an incident in traffic September 15. As previously reported, Detective Sgt. Jason Strong with the St. Joseph Police Department spotted a disturbance in a white SUV in traffic near the Belt and Faraon. When Sgt. Strong tried to pull the vehicle over, he says Sweet got out and fled. A woman in the vehicle warned that Sweet had a gun. She had been shot in the clavicle earlier.

Sweet was found a short time later hiding in a shed in a nearby mobile home park and was arrested.

Judge Robb reduced Sweet’s $25,000 bond to a 10% deposit with the court, provided the defendant abide by a curfew seven days a week, and stay away from bars and alcohol.
