Tereek Nutter, 29, was given 151 months in prison followed by five years of supervised release for conspiring to distribute more than 5 kilograms of cocaine and a quantity of cocaine base.
According to his plea agreement, from May to June 2011, law enforcement overheard phone conversations in which Nutter arranged for several purchases of up to a kilogram of cocaine at a time from a conspirator. Court records show Nutter agreed to pay up to $35,000 for each kilogram of cocaine.
Prosecutors said that on June 29, 2011, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Nutter's home and seized $3,800; a loaded, stolen firearm; ammunition; 10.8 grams of cocaine base; and 1.8 grams of cocaine.
Nutter was arrested on Sept. 9, 2011, at another home in Salisbury where authorities said they seized more than 300 grams of cocaine, a scale, a loaded firearm and $3,000 from that home.
