Man sent to prison for 15 years on meth conviction

A Pennington Gap, Virginia man will spend 15 years in prison for distributing major amounts of methamphetamine into Lee County.

Commonwealth’s Attorney Fuller Cridlin announced the sentence of James Edward Regan passed down in Circuit Court this week.

Cridlin said investigative work and multiple traffic stops were enough evidence to show Regan was moving the drug product and profiting from the illegal sales.
