IRONTON â A South Point area man was sentenced Wednesday in Lawrence County Common Pleas Court to three years in prison after he pleaded guilty to four counts of trafficking in meth in the vicinity of a school.
Dana Frye, 43, of County Road 18, South Point, was sentenced in the case by Judge Andy Ballard. He was given credit for 142 days already spent in jail toward the sentence. A felony drug possession charge was dismissed as part of a plea agreement.
The case has been set for trial May 27.
In an unrelated case, Donald Malone, 32, was convicted earlier this week on a charge of possession of drugs. It was the first trial held in common pleas court in more than a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

WARREN A former Warren G. Harding girls basketball coach is requesting parole from his 15-years-to-life sentence after his conviction in the strangulation death of his wife, Deana, at their Warren home in May 2004.
David Jenkins, 58, who is housed at Marion Correctional Institution, is scheduled for his first hearing before the Ohio Parole Board this month, and assistant Trumbull County Prosecutor Christopher Becker wrote a letter advising the board about his office’s opposition to Jenkins’ release.
In his letter, Becker states facts of the case were very straightforward. It was well known in the community that Jenkins and his wife were having marital problems, and Deana had told a number of close friends by May 2004 she was leaving her husband.
