A man serving time for murder was back in court Wednesday for sentencing on charges he possessed synthetic cannabis and intended to distribute it in a Kansas prison.

Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson says Darrell Rodgers and his girlfriend Alesia Warrior were convicted of the 2005 murder of Warrior’s husband, Jeremy Warrior.

This story was featured on the television program “Wicked Attraction.”

Darrell Rodgers, 42, was returned to a Leavenworth County courtroom Wednesday and sentenced to an additional 29 months after he was found in possession of synthetic cannabis, sometimes known as K2, during a pat down search a year ago. Authorities believe he intended to distribute the artificial cannabis within the Lansing Correctional Facility.

During a search on January 2, 2015, staff of the facility patted down Mr. Rodgers and found in his pocket two large bags of what was later determined to be synthetic cannabis.
