BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) — A Tuscaloosa man was sentenced for his involvement in a drug conspiracy, according to U.S. Attorney Prim Escalona on Monday.

Hanston Clark, 33, of Tuscaloosa, was sentenced to 24 years in prison. He was convicted of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine and fentanyl, distribution of methamphetamine and fentanyl and use of a communication facility in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime in November.

Terrance Stevens, 41, of Anniston, and Yannick Wolf, 35, of Anniston, were previously sentenced for a role in the drug conspiracy.
