It didn't take

long for convicted murderer Karl Bryan Hodge to get another dent in his

criminal record.

Hodge, who

was convicted last month for murdering drug dealer Adolf Stubbs, was found

guilty Monday for possession of a weapon and possession of drugs while

locked up at the Fayette County Jail.

The weapon,

according to court records, was a sock filled with a heavy object. He

was also found in possession of marijuana at the time, records said.

Last month,

Hodge was found guilty of murdering Stubbs after an eyewitness identified

him as the triggerman who shot and killed the Jamaican native. Stubbs'

body was left in a burning SUV in a new subdivision in north Fayette County

in March 1999.

Hodge was sentenced

to one year in prison that will run concurrent with his sentence in the

murder for life in prison plus 25 years. The additional conviction could

help keep Hodge incarcerated longer depending on how the information is

interpreted by state parole officials.
