HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A Detroit man was sentenced Monday to federal prison on drug charges involving prescription painkillers, according to information from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Devon Patterson, 27, of Detroit, was sentenced to three years and 10 months in prison for conspiracy to distribute oxycodone. Patterson previously pleaded guilty in April.
