His arrest in December of last year for a number of charges came on the heels of two open cases for similar charges. Buchanan also had a previous property forfeiture of $309 cash and a handgun in 2015.
Buchanan is no stranger to prison, with his last stint coming in 2018 when he absconded from his probation officer and caught a parole violation. He has also served time in the past for Terroristic Threatening and Aggravated Assault.
In addition to his imposed sentence, Buchanan also had 20 years suspended in the court proceedings last week.
