Former West Virginia State University basketball player Kendrick Leon Ward will spend two years in prison for distributing heroin.
U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin says Ward sold heroin to a confidential informant near a dormitory on West Virginia State’s campus in Institute in 2013. The 25-year-old Oak Park, Michigan, resident pleaded guilty in September to distributing heroin within 1,000 feet of school property.
Goodwin says in a news release that Ward was sentenced on Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Charleston.
Ward played in 27 games during the 2012-2013 season and averaged 4.5 points per game.
