Fayette County Man Sentenced for Selling Drugs

CHARLESTON -- A Fayette County man was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison and three years of supervised released after pleading guilty to distributing Oxycodone.
The U.S. Attorney's Office said Herman Armstrong, 53, of Scarbro sold 65 Oxycontin tablets to a confidential informant working for the Drug Enforcement Network Team. That deal took place in June 2008.

Investigators said Armstrong worked as a middle man facilitating deals between his drug suppliers and drug users in the Paint Creek area of Kanawha county.
