A suspect on a drug charge in Madison County was convicted of trying to bribe a Madison County sheriff's deputy.
Dennis Jerome Beal was arrested on the bribery charge Feb. 5 after he delivered $4,000 to a deputy, expecting to have the drug charges pending against him dismissed, a sheriff's statement said.
Beal was given the maximum sentence of 10 years as a habitual offender, and the eight years of probation he was serving for a previous conviction was revoked.
He is facing trial on a sale of cocaine charge. If convicted, he will face a potential 120 additional years.
