CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - A former Union County sheriff's deputy must serve 18 months in prison for drug-dealing and weapons offenses.

The Charlotte Observer reported that a U.S. District Court judge in Charlotte sentenced 36-year-old Louis Balducci of Waxhaw on Monday. Balducci had pleaded guilty in April to two counts of selling the prescription painkiller Oxycodone and unlawful possession of silencers.

Balducci was a deputy from July 2006 until January 2008. He was on medical leave after he was injured in a car wreck in spring 2007.
