A federal judge has sentenced a Cincinnati man to 220 months in federal prison, for his role in a conspiracy that distributed heroin in Newport, Ky. U.S. District Judge Amul Thapar sentenced Carlos Massengill, 45, for conspiracy to distribute heroin.
Judge Thapar enhanced Massengill’s sentence because Massengill qualified as a career offender, due to his significant criminal history. Massengill admitted that he and a co-defendant, Anquan Williams, 35, distributed heroin in Newport, on several occasions between April 2014 and July 30, 2014. Williams was sentenced to 120 months in prison on April 2. Williams and Massengill pleaded guilty in December of 2014.
