Two Western North Carolina men have been sentenced to prison after a man died from a drug overdose.

63 year old Richie Womick and 21 year old Tray Jones, both of Rutherford County, pleaded guilty to death by drug distribution.


Court records say, the two men sold drugs to a man identified as Jason Scott Bridges. He was found unresponsive and then pronounced dead at a hospital in Rutherford County.

His cause of death was revealed to be a drug overdose. Womick and Jones will both serve a minimum of nearly 6 years and a possible max sentence of just over 8 years.
