From Decatur County Prosecuting Attorney Nathan Harter
Noah Goreham was convicted pursuant to a plea agreement and sentenced on October 17, 2022 in the Decatur Superior Court before Judge Matthew Bailey. Goreham was charged and convicted on one count of Level 5 Felony Possession of a Handgun without a Permit While Having a Previous Felony Conviction and also Level 6 Felony Dealing in a Controlled Substance. Goreham also admitted to being an Habitual Offender due to prior felony convictions. The State was represented by Prosecuting Attorney Nathan W. Harter IV.
The plea agreement called for a sentence of twelve total years, with seven years and six months executed in the Department of Correction. The remaining four years and six months are suspended to supervised probation.
Decatur County Prosecuting Attorney Nate Harter wants to recognize Greensburg Police Officers Kaitlin Jackowicz, Peyton Gerkin, Matt Terkhorn, and Sgt. Chris Bridges for their hard work on this case.
Said Harter, “Mr. Goreham expressed a desire to take responsibility for his actions from his very first day in court. Paired with his candor in explaining his actions, I believe the plea agreement accurately reflects Mr. Goreham’s desire to stop living in the world of firearms and narcotics. I am grateful for the anonymous tipster who provided valuable information, and to the officers who actively tracked Mr. Goreham down despite being aware he was likely armed.”
