BESSEMER - Ironwood Township resident Donald Kirby, 28, entered guilty pleas to possessing heroin with intent to deliver and a felony firearm charge Thursday in Gogebic County Circuit Court, as part of a deal with Gogebic County Prosecutor Nick Jacobs.
The possession charge carries a potential maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and/or a $25,000 fine.
The felony firearms charge carries a maximum two-year prison sentence.
Jacobs told the Daily Globe the charges require the sentences be served consecutively, rather than at the same time.
