TOPEKA, KAN. – A Kansas man was sentenced to six years in federal prison for heroin trafficking, according to U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister.

Terrance Wills, 42, Kansas City, Kan., pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute heroin. In his plea, Wills admitted he met two other men, who had transported the heroin from Texas, at a rest area near Topeka.

Investigators had been following the load – almost five pounds of heroin -- since the couriers were stopped on Highway 54 near Meade, Kansas.
