Last May, Hunter (left) was arrested in Spencer for selling pain patches, telling authorities he had been selling the patches for two months, having sold 12 in a 24-hour period when he was arrested by the Roane County Sheriffs Department.

He was charged with the possession of fentanyl pain patches with intent to deliver following a traffic stop, having six patches in his shoe with $1,100 in cash.

Hunter was sentenced to six months in the Anthony Center, and if completed will be placed on parole.

He is currently being held in Central Regional Jail.
