According to the Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office, Chappell Williams, 42, was found guilty on charges related to a drug-deal shooting on the 800 block of Chestnut Street.
Lancaster County Judge Thomas Sponaugle sentenced Williams Monday to 9 to 18 years in state prison on charges of aggravated assault, firearms not to be carried without a license and persons not to possess firearms.
