A Scottdale man was sentenced Friday to serve up to five years in prison for his role in the shooting and robbery of a Derry drug dealer last year.
Brandon Eugene “Lil-Drizzy” Thomas, pleaded guilty to felony charges of robbery and conspiracy. Westmoreland County prosecutors agreed to dismiss attempted homicide, theft and an additional conspiracy count as part of a plea bargain.
According to court records, Thomas, 19, and two others drove out to the Derry Township home of 20-year-old Dylan Matthew Brant on April 5, 2020 under the guise of purchasing THC wax, which is a compressed and more potent form of marijuana.
