Heroin convicts sentenced

A couple charged in a drug bust last spring have been sentenced on drug charges and one was sentenced on dozens of charges accumulated since the original arrest. 23-year-old Ronald Coble pleaded guilty to heroin trafficking. He'll spend two to five years in the Discovery Program for inmates with substance-abuse problems. Kasandra Cole received a suspended sentence of one to three years. She was also charged with 55 violations of her conditions of release. Cole had been released on bail and one of the conditions was that she stay away from Coble. Perkett refused, and later had his child.
The arrests came in September 2008 after a car stop in which police said an informant admitted to being en route to buy heroin from Coble.
