BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — A 42-year-old Vermont man is going to prison for more than five years after pleading guilty to a charge that he conspired to distribute cocaine and heroin.
Tyrone Hill of Springfield was sentenced on Thursday in federal court in Burlington.
Court records say that during the spring of 2011 members of the Southern Vermont Drug Task Force purchased crack cocaine or heroin from Hill, or his associate, on eight separate occasions in Springfield. Hill traveled to New Jersey to buy the drugs and then brought them back to Vermont to distribute them.
Hill has been in custody since his arrest. He pleaded guilty in January.
nope no drug problems in springfield...wasn't that what was preached two or three years ago. Well lets see he got 5 years and that has already been cut for time served already and by the time the restorative justice center gets him he will be in jail hmmm maybe another month or so before being out dealing again. Sorry prison is for punishment. Put them out breaking rocks in 100 degree weather.
ReplyDeleteThis was a federal trial so he will serve 80% of the 5 years. This guy has been a menance for quite awhile. Good job to the Vt Drug Task force for getting him out of the town. Unfortunetly there are many others to take his place.
