Details: Phillip Wilson, 37, of Burlington, was sentenced to seven years in federal prison after pleading guilty to charges of distributing and possessing heroin, and possessing guns as part of drug-trafficking. Court records show Wilson sold heroin to an informant five times over the course of 2016. A search warrant at his home located 160 bags of heroin and a revolver. An additional 160 bags of heroin were found at second residence as well as two more firearms and over $3,300 in cash. |
NO law will prevent crime. No law will stop criminals from getting guns. Gun Control only effects the law-abiding citizen and the politicians know it. |
