BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - The last of 34 people convicted in a major prescription drug ring learned his punishment. A federal judge sentenced 39-year-old Deshawn McLorn to four-and-a-half years in prison.

Prosecutors say McLorn sold 1,000 oxycontin tablets to drug dealers in Buffalo, who then sold them to people in the city and the eastern suburbs.
