United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas Christopher R. Thyer announced Thursday that the lead defendant in a Blytheville drug conspiracy has been sentenced. The three-year case involving large-scale distribution of methamphetamines reached its conclusion with the sentencing of Kenneth Brown, II, aka "Iceman", 29, of Blytheville. Brown, the final of eleven defendants sentenced in this case, was indicted by a federal grand jury on March 6, 2013. He was sentenced Thursday by United States District Court Judge J. Leon Holmes to 151 months imprisonment for his role as the leader of the drug ring. His sentence also includes five years of supervised release, the forfeiture of multiple firearms and $7,350 in drug proceeds.
