A Gillsville man had the most serious charges dismissed in a case of a “drug deal that went horrendously wrong” when another man lost his eye, according to his attorney Blake Poole. Johnathan William Owens entered a plea deal on a charge of conspiracy to commit distribution of a controlled substance. Superior Court Judge Kathlene Gosselin handed down a sentence of 12 years, with four of those years in incarceration. The rest can be on probation. Owens and co-defendants Evan Edsel Dorsey, of Buford, and Richard Brian Sosebee, of Lula, were charged with attempted murder, among other serious charges, in a December indictment.
