A man was sentenced on Friday to 12 to 16 years in prison after an Onslow County Court jury found him guilty of multiple drug trafficking charges.
On November 2, 2017, Onslow County Sheriff’s deputies arrested Wilbur Leon Farrior, 58-years-old, of 120 Vinka Street, Maple Hill, and charged him with the following criminal offenses, for which he was indicted by a grand jury:

On Thursday, May 2, an Onslow County Court jury found Farrior guilty of all counts listed above.
Based on Farrior’s previous criminal history, a single count of Habitual Felon was added, in which Farrior entered a guilty plea.
Onslow County Superior Court Judge Phyliss Gorham sentenced Farrior to serve 140 months (nearly 12 years) to 192 months (16 years) in a state prison.
