Lockesburg Man Sentenced to 10 Years on Felony Drug Charges

A Lockesburg man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to multiple felony drug charges in Sevier County Circuit Court.

According to court records, 64-year-old Todd Lee Carver was sentenced on October 9 on charges including maintaining a drug premises, possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of controlled substances with purpose to deliver.

The charges stem from a March raid on Carver’s home in Lockesburg, conducted by law enforcement as part of an investigation led by the Ninth West Judicial District Drug Task Force.

Carver initially pleaded not guilty, but during a pre-trial hearing held last week, he changed his plea to guilty. He was subsequently sentenced to 10 years in the Arkansas Department of Corrections.

No additional arrests related to the investigation have been reported at this time.
