An East Texas man has been sentenced to nearly five years in federal prison for plotting to sell marijuana stolen from a law enforcement evidence room.
Roderrete Dewrayne McClure of Carthage was sentenced Monday in Tyler. The 43-year-old McClure pleaded guilty in March to conspiracy to distribute marijuana.
Investigators said McClure conspired to distribute more than 100 pounds of marijuana stolen in 2010 from the Tenaha City Marshal's office.
Prosecutors said fire starter logs were substituted to cover the theft of the marijuana, intended to be sold in the Shreveport area.
