Man sentenced in heroin deals

Two days after pleading guilty in two heroin distribution cases a man currently serving time in a state correctional facility in Mercer was sentenced to state prison in Butler County Court.

Clint E. Nagle, 33, was sentenced to two to five years in state prison and ordered to pay court costs and a $100 fine by Judge Timothy McCune Thursday, after pleading guilty to two felony counts of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance — heroin, and felony criminal use of a communications facility on Tuesday.

That sentence also runs concurrent to an unrelated Mercer County sentence, on which he is already serving time in state prison.

Nagle was initially charged with two felony counts of possession with intent and criminal use of a communications facility after an incident on March 29, 2016, and two felony counts of possession with intent and misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance after an incident July 5, 2016. The remaining charges were dismissed as part of the plea.

The March charges stem from an investigation by the state attorney general's office, after they say Nagle sold heroin to an informant twice, once on East Brady Street and the other on McKean Street in back of the Butler Public Library.

The July charges stem from an investigation by the Butler County Drug Task Force, where Nagle sold nine stamp bags of heroin to a confidential informant for $80 on North Cliff Street and Walnut Street in Butler.
