A 36-year-old Belle Vernon man was sentenced Monday to six to 12 years in connection with an alleged conspiracy to sell heroin and cocaine with his father.

Quinton Martin pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy to possess with the intent to deliver controlled substances, including heroin/fentanyl and cocaine. 

Judge Gary Gilman sentenced Martin to three to six years of incarceration on each charge to run consecutively to one another for a total sentence of six to 12 years in a state correctional facility.

Martin was charged with multiple drug offenses following a state police investigation into a tip that he was conspiring with a family member — allegedly his father, Herbert Russell Green — to sell illegal narcotics. The pair was specifically accused of selling heroin/fentanyl, cocaine and marijuana from two locations — a house in North Belle Vernon and a residence on Lookout Avenue in Charleroi.
