SALISBURY — A man who formerly lived in Salisbury will serve 300 months, or 25 years, in prison for drug and money laundering charges.

Derek McNeil Washington, a 31-year-old man who lived on Newsome Road, was sentenced in federal court last month to charges of conspiring to distribute methamphetamine and money laundering. He was indicted last year as part of a 16-count indictment along with 10 others for crimes committed in Rowan County.

In addition to serving time in prison, Washington will forfeit firearms and serve five years of supervised probation after his prison sentence.
