Rock, age 41, was indicted on four counts of “Distribution of Heroin.” Rock is accused of distributing heroin in Harrison County in July, September, and October 2016.

Rock faces up to 20 years incarceration and a fine of up to $1,000,000 for each count. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed will be based upon the seriousness of the offenses and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
