Young was convicted of conspiracy to unlawfully distribute controlled substances, maintaining drug-involved premises, as well as 13 counts of distributing controlled substances, six of which involved distribution to a pregnant woman, prosecutors said. Young is set to be sentenced on August 3. He faces up to 40 years in prison for each distribution to a pregnant woman charge and 20 years for each of the other convictions, according to prosecutors.
