ATLANTA (AP) -- A 38-year-old McDonough, Ga. man was sentenced to serve 30 years in federal prison for conspiring to distribute drugs.

Marlon Burton was sentenced on Friday. He's the fourth person named in an indictment in December 2009 as a member of an Atlanta-based drug trafficking organization to be sentenced. Three others await sentencing, while one of those named is still a fugitive.

Prosecutors say Burton and those working for him distributed wholesale quantities of cocaine, heroin and marijuana.

They say Burton funneled drug money through his construction company and other businesses he owned.

He entered a guilty plea in May.
