(KAIR)--A Dekalb, Missouri man accused of selling the prescription pain reliever hydrocdone has agreed to a plea deal in the case.
28-year old Derek Frakes appeared in Atchison County District Court Friday morning to enter a guilty plea to one count of distribution of a narcotic. In exchange for the plea, one count of distributing narcotics within 1,000 feet of a school was dropped.
Sentencing has been set for October 20th.
Frakes was arrested in July after a police investigation determined that he facilitated the sale of the drug from an Atchison apartment in April.
23-year-old Atchison resident Marissa Vanwey, who authorities say facilitated the sale of methamphetamine from the same apartment in April, was also in court Friday for sentencing in the case.
Judge Martin Asher sentenced her to fifteen months in prison on one count of distribution of methamphetamine and eight months in prison on one count of using a telecommunication device to facilitate a controlled substance transaction. The sentences were ordered to be served concurrently, and Vanwey was given credit for time served.
