He received another sentence, to be served concurrently, of 46 months on another count of felony third-degree sales of a narcotic.
Judge Kevin Siefken issued the sentences.
Three charges of felony second-degree sales of heroin in a school zone and another charge of felony third-degree sales of a narcotic were dismissed at the sentencing as part of a plea agreement.
Wadley was arrested on March 21 at his residence in the 1800 block of East Oakland Avenue during a police search warrant. Staff of nearby Neveln Elementary School was notified of the search warrant to ensure the safety of the students.
Prior to his arrest, Wadley sold heroin to a police informant three times over the course of two months. He sold a total of 2.1 grams of heroin to the informant.
A review of Wadley’s criminal record shows prior convictions for theft, terroristic threats, assault and harassment.
