ELLIS COUNTY (CBSDFW.COM) - Charles "Trey" Daubitz III, 45, of Midlothian, was sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to Delivery of a Controlled Substance to a Child.
Starting when she was 13-years-old, Daubitz supplied methamphetamine and other drugs to his daughter, according to the Ellis County District Attorney's Office.
She quickly became addicted and entered into a substance abuse treatment program.
After her release from the treatment program, Daubitz continued to supply her with methamphetamine, according to the DA's office news release. On more than one occasion, Daubitz took his daughter to drug houses in Ellis and Dallas Counties, where they ingested drugs together.
Daubitz was arrested in September 2015, shortly after the girl's mother found out she had meth.
After the plea hearing, Ellis County & District Attorney Patrick Wilson issued the following statement:
"Contrary to the popular narrative being told in our country today, this is the type of drug offender that is going to prison. Daubitz is not some simple drug user who possessed a small amount of narcotics and only harmed himself. He seriously harmed others. The criminal justice system provided him with multiple opportunities to reform and rehabilitate, through both probation and parole. This 20-year prison sentence is not the result of the failures of our society. This sentence is the result of the failures of Trey Daubitz."
Daubitz has prior felony convictions for Forgery and Escape in Dallas County in 2008, and for Delivery of a Controlled Substance in Tarrant County in 2011.
