Justin L. King was arrested in January after selling drugs to an undercover officer of the Indiana County's Drug Task Force.

The 26-year-old, who pled guilty to dealing cocaine and methamphetamine, received the standard ten-year prison sentence for each of the felonies.

King was arrested this year while still on probation for a previous drug conviction from 2000. King had been sentenced to 20 years for his first conviction, but four years into his sentence the judge agreed to release him from prison on four years probation.
