A Wellman man has been sentenced to 30 years in prison following guilty pleas in a Washington County drug and firearm case.
Larry Smith, 38, pleaded guilty to two Class C felony controlled-substance violations, a Class D felony involving control of a firearm and three aggravated-misdemeanor drug-possession charges. Other charges were dismissed.
The case originated in February 2025, when Smith was found unresponsive inside a vehicle at the Casey’s store in Wellman. According to court records, a subsequent search uncovered a firearm, knives and multiple containers holding controlled substances.
In addition to the prison sentence, Smith was ordered to pay $4,610 in fines.
