COVINGTON HEROIN DEALER FACES 38 YEAR SENTENCE

A Kenton County jury recommended a 38-year sentence last week for a Covington man who sold heroin five times to a confidential informant with the Covington Police Department, according to the prosecutor's office.

Donte Little will be 72 years old when he's released if he serves the full sentence.  The 33-year-old was convicted of four counts of trafficking in a controlled substance and one count of complicity to trafficking in a controlled substance.

The Covington Police Department's narcotics unit, known as the "D Team," purchased more than 14 grams of heroin from Little on five different days during the fall of 2014, prosecutors said.  Investigators testified video and audio recordings were made of the transactions, which totaled more than $2,300.
