GREAT BARRINGTON SCHOOL-ZONE DRUG TRIAL STARTS OVER
PITTSFIELD -- For the second time this summer, prosecutors Tuesday began to
lay out their case against an 18-year-old man snared in a controversial
drug sting in Great Barrington.
Kyle W. Sawin of Otis faces three counts each of distribution of marijuana
and committing a drug violation in a drug-free school zone in connection
with sales he allegedly made to an undercover officer in the parking lot of
the former Taconic Lumber store last summer.
A mistrial was declared in July after a Berkshire Superior Court jury
failed to reach a unanimous verdict in the case. If convicted of the school
zone offenses, Sawin faces a mandatory minimum 2-year jail sentence.
