BESSEMER - An Ironwood man, who was found guilty on six drug and gun charges in December, was sentenced to a total of 11 years in prison Tuesday in Gogebic County Circuit Court.
Donovan Howard Payeur, 32, was sentenced to between nine and 30 years for the charges of possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver and conspiracy to possess meth with intent to deliver.
The maximum sentences were increased from the standard 20 years due to a habitual offender designation.
He received 516 days credit for time already served in jail.
