CLARION, Pa. (EYT) – One of sixteen individuals charged following a joint investigation into street-level drug trafficking in Clarion County late last year was recently sentenced.

According to court documents, on May 9, 23-year-old Shane Kelly Whitehouse, of Stoneboro, was sentenced in Clarion County Court of Common Pleas to six months of county probation.
