A North Carolina man was sentenced Friday to spend more than a year in federal prison for selling heroin in Charleston to a confidential informant.
Adam Denson, 29, of Gastonia, previously pleaded guilty to distribution of heroin, a news release from U.S. Attorney Carol Casto's office states.
Denson admitted that he sold heroin to an informant on May 14, 2015, at the Little Page Terrace apartments on Charleston's West Side. He also sold the drug to an informant on three other occasions that month.
U.S. District Judge Thomas Johnston sentenced Denson to spend a year and a half in prison.
