A local man has been sentenced to five years of state prison time on drug sale charges.

Edward Mitchell, 37, of Tupper Lake, was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in state prison on each of two counts of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance. The terms are to run consecutively, according to the sentence handed down Jan. 11 by Franklin County Court Judge Robert Main Jr.
