According to a release from the Department of Justice, 61-year-old Roy Lee Dykes of Watkinsville, Georgia was sentenced this week after being previously convicted.
Dykes, formerly of Big Stone Gap, Virginia, was convicted of one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute, one count of distributing 50 grams or more of methamphetamine, in addition to cocaine, heroin, alprazolam and oxycodone.
