Dunstank also was to pay more than $3,800 in restitution related to medical expenses and nearly $16,000 for funeral expenses to Mitchell’s mother.

After he serves his time, Dunstan must register as an offender for 15 years.

Mitchell and a friend, Ernest Williams, arranged a marijuana sale and at the Church’s Chicken.
