SUFFOLK, Va. (WVEC) — A Suffolk man was sentenced to 15 years in prison on Tuesday for the distribution of heroin.
“Drug traffickers in possession of firearms pose a significant threat to our communities,” said G. Zachary Terwilliger, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. “Investigating and prosecuting these cases remains a top priority in the Eastern District. We would not have been able to achieve this result without the cooperation of our local and federal law enforcement partners. My thanks to the Suffolk Police Department and DEA for their outstanding work on this case.”
Henry Scott, 43, sold 50 grams of heroin several times to an informant working with the Suffolk Police Department and the DEA, according to court documents.
Law enforcement officials executed a search warrant at Scott’s residence and found an additional 27 grams of heroin along with an AR-15 style firearm with a 60-round drum magazine.
