10 years for Houma man in federal drug case

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The U.S. Attorney in New Orleans says a 36-year-old Houma man received a 10-year federal prison sentence on a cocaine distribution charge.

Kenneth A. Polite (puh-LEET’) says in a news release that Channing Christopher Miller was sentenced Wednesday. Miller had pleaded guilty to a one-count indictment for possessing cocaine hydrochloride with the intent to distribute it.

Prosecutors say Miller was arrested last November in New Orleans during a drug surveillance operation at a bus terminal.
