Elementary school janitor, co-conspirator sentenced for selling heroin

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – Two Newport News men have been sentenced this week to a combined 87 months in prison for distributing heroin, including on the property of a local elementary school. This case was investigated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).

According to court documents, Aaron Williams, 28, who was employed as a janitor at Sedgefield Elementary School in Newport News, was involved with Scott Fletcher, 51, in distributing heroin in Newport News and Hampton.
