Jurors find Columbus man guilty of trafficking drugs

LIMA — Jurors deliberated for nearly eight hours over two days before returning guilty verdicts Thursday afternoon on eight of nine felony drug charges against a Columbus man.

Allen County Common Pleas Court Judge Jeffrey Reed sentenced 28-year-old Kascal Armour to a minimum prison term of 22 years shortly after the verdicts were read. Armour was also ordered to forfeit a handgun and $9,171 in drug profits to the West Central Ohio Crime Task Force.

Armour’s attorney, Antony Abboud, said the verdicts and the sentence will be appealed.
