Pike County Man Sentenced on Federal Drug Charges

It’s eight years in prison for a Pike County man who pleaded guilty to federal drug charges.

Casey Collins was sentenced last week by a judge after he pleaded guilty in April to possession of meth and fentanyl with the intent to distribute.

Mountain Top News reports he admitted to having meth and fentanyl in his possession when deputies raided a Floyd County home where he was staying and he said he intended to sell the drugs.

Prosecutors say he’d sold drugs to undercover informants on four occasions.
