Detroit man sentenced to federal prison on drug charges

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) – A man from Detroit was sentenced Monday to more than six years in federal prison on drug charges, U.S. Attorney Carol Casto says.

Damond Idress Robinson-King, 23, had pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting the possession with intent to distribute 100 grams or more of heroin.

Investigators say King was involved in a heroin-trafficking ring that included a residence in the 1800 block of Old 16th Street Road in Huntington. Investigators searched that house on Oct. 5, 2015, and found King inside. They seized nearly 306 grams of heroin and more than $51,000 in U.S. cash.
