A Patrick man who pleaded guilty to federal charges last year was sentenced to serve 25 years in federal prison, according to records filed in the U.S. District Court in Abingdon.

Timothy Bowman, 46, of Ararat, was sentenced April 24 to serve a total of 300 months in federal prison and a total of 10 years of supervised release after he is released.

The indictment alleged that between January 1, 2015 and June 20, 2017, Bowman along with several other people, conspired with each other and others to possess with the intent to distribute 500 grams or more of a mixture containing methamphetamine, court records showed.

The maximum statutory penalty is a $20,000,000 fine and/or life in prison, plus a supervised release of at least 10 years, court documents showed. The charge also carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years.

The indictment also alleged that in the same time period, Bowman possessed a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, and using/carrying a firearm during and in relation to a drug trafficking crime, documents showed.

That charge carries a maximum statutory penalty of a $250,000 fine and/or life imprisonment.

Bowman pleaded guilty to two counts of the July 10, 2017 indictment in November, court records showed.

Handed down last week, Bowman’s sentence included 240 months on the conspiracy charge and 60 months on the possession of a firearm charge, according to court records. The sentence is to run consecutively, meaning one will follow the other.

Bowman also was ordered to pay a total of $200 special assessment fee, and his fines were waived, court documents showed.

He will be housed in a federal facility in Butner, North Carolina, documents showed.
