A man with a criminal drug history is back behind bars for trying to sell drugs close to a school.
Newport Police arrested Willie Walton after officers saw him walking around downtown.
He had been wanted as part of an on-going drug investigation.
Police say they found him with almost six grams of crack cocaine.
They charged him with four counts of intent to sell and deliver crack within a thousand feet of a school.
He got out of prison in May.
