HINTON A Hinton man pleaded guilty Friday to delivery of marijuana. Danny W Burdette 40 entered his plea in Summers County Circuit Court. In return the state dismissed two other felony marijuana charges. Burdette was one of 35 people indicted by the November grand jury after a 1996 undercover drug sting by state police. Prosecutor Mike Turner recommends probation as part of the agreement. Burdette was charged with delivering 1.44 grams of marijuana to police informant Roger Fox Jr for 30 dollars on Oct 17 1996. Defense attorney Barry Bruce said that after listening to tape recordings of the alleged transaction he believed the plea was in his clients best interests. Circuit Judge Robert Irons accepted the plea and allowed Burdette to remain free on 5000 dollar bond until his Sept 2 sentencing. Burdette faces a prison sentence of one to five years and a fine of 15000 dollars.
