An Ironton man arrested by the Lawrence County Drug and Major Crimes Task Force in February admitted selling prescription pills out of his home.

Billy Barnett, 38, of 2615 S. Fifth St., Ironton, pleaded guilty to charges of third-degree possession of drugs, three counts of fourth-degree trafficking in drugs, fifth-degree possession of drugs, third-degree tampering with evidence and third-degree having weapons under a disability Wednesday in Lawrence County Common Pleas Court.

Judge Charles Cooper sentenced the man to eight years in prison, three of which were the result of a gun specification listed on Barnett’s indictment. At the time of his arrest, Barnett was in possession of the firearm, as well as $7,533. The gun and money were forfeited to the state.
