Ovie N. “Tony” Lattimore, a star on the Morristown High School 1975 championship team, was sentenced today to 12 years in prison on drug trafficking charges, reports The Daily Record.
In a plea deal with the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office, Lattimore, 53, was sentenced for second degree crimes although he admitted to first-degree offenses. As a result, he will be eligible for parole in three years, the paper reports.
He was arrested in 2007 at his home in Kissimmee, Fla., on charges that he conspired to distribute cocaine and painkillers, according to the paper. Lattimore’s late father, Norman Lattimore, led the Morristown Housing Authority in the 1980s.
