A Missouri man has been sentenced to more than 17 years on drug-related charges.

James M. Judd, 31, of Chesterfield was sentenced to 210 months on one count of felony conspiracy to possess marijuana with intent to distribute, one count of felony possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime and one count of felony interference with commerce by robbery.
