A Cross Lanes man was sentenced on Monday after previously admitting to selling heroin while on federal supervised release.
Darrell Spicer, 60, sold what he believed was heroin to a confidential informant who worked with the Kanawha County Sheriff's Office in June, according to a news release. A test later revealed the substance was fentanyl.
A detective with the Sheriff's Tactical Operations Patrol searched Spicer's home and found heroin, fentanyl and more than $7,000 in cash, the release states.
U.S. District Judge John Copenhaver Jr. sentenced Spicer to serve six years in prison for a charge of possession with intent to distribute heroin, along with another 18 months for violating his supervised release, according to the release. Those sentences will be served consecutively.
