Palmer man sentenced to two years in King Salmon heroin case

A Palmer man was sentenced Wednesday to two years in connection with a 2015 drug case.

Police arrested Jorden Bishop, 29, in June 2015 after finding him in possession of 22 grams of heroin at the King Salmon Airport.

In August 2016, Bishop pleaded guilty to fourth-degree misconduct involving a controlled substance in return for the agreed upon sentence.

Bishop has been on electronic monitoring since August 2015, and will likely serve the remainder of his sentence on monitoring rather than behind bars.

A remand hearing to determine that is scheduled for late November.
