LOWELL — A 24-year-old Lawrence man was sentenced to two years in jail and two years of probation after pleading guilty to drug charges brought as a result of an investigation that used the cell phone of a man who died in a drug overdose.
Rhoderick Adino was among three men arrested by Tewksbury police in February of last year after selling drugs to undercover detectives who contacted them with the cell phone of a 28-year-old man who died of a drug overdose, according to police.
Detectives found text messages on the phone between the 28-year-old and another man that appeared to setup a drug deal. The overdose victim’s family gave police permission to use the phone
