He was sentenced in Tyler yesterday to 120 months in federal prison by U.S. District Judge Michael H. Schneider.
According to federal prosecutors, Langston purchased cold pills containing pseudoephedrine at a CVS store in Marshall as well as additional purchases in Shreveport, Louisiana, with the intent to manufacture methamphetamine. The manufacturing of the methamphetamine took place at Langston’s residence where one or more young children were present at the time.
