A 33-year-old Centralia man has been sentenced to 100 months in federal prison for distributing more than 50 grams of a mixture containing methamphetamine.

Ricardo Little had been arrested on the charge during an October 2021 drug bust in Centralia and had pleaded guilty in US District Court to the charge in April.

After getting out of prison, Little will have to serve four years of mandatory supervised release.

Little was one of four arrested during drug busts on homes in Centralia and Mt. Vernon.   Little’s arrest was made based on the sale of $2,000 in methamphetamine to a confidential source from Little’s residence in the 1200 block of Case Street in Centralia earlier in the month.  The sale was reportedly arranged by Little’s sister, Ricosha Young of Mt. Vernon, who is scheduled to enter a plea agreement on charges pending against her on September 5th.
