RICHMOND, Va. – A Richmond man was sentenced Tuesday to five years in prison for possession of a firearm and possession of over a kilogram of marijuana.
Timothy Carrington, 57, who was previously a convicted felon, was arrested on Oct. 18, 2017, after police responded to his apartment in the 1300 block of Coalter Street for a drug distribution complaint.
Police say Carrington admitted that he had a small amount of marijuana on him. The 57-year-old was arrested, and officers obtained a search warrant for his apartment.
After executing the warrant, officers found a 9mm semi-automatic pistol, 1.1 kilograms of marijuana, $165,052 in cash, multiple vacuum sealers, digital scales, and drug packaging materials.
Carrington was a Mosby Court drug dealer, according to prosecutors.
