“That is a good sentence and outstanding work,” Halifax County Sheriff Wes Tripp said today. “We will continue to do more.”
Terry was sentenced today in Raleigh after taking a plea last year.
On April 16 and 17 of 2014, the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office used an informant to buy crack cocaine from Terry.
According to the statement, he received an enhanced punishment as a career offender based on his two prior state convictions for selling cocaine.
The investigation of this case was conducted by the sheriff's office.
The federal prosecution was handled by Special Assistant United States Attorney Glenn Perry.
