Overall, he was found guilty of three counts of delivery of a controlled substance (cocaine), three counts of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance (cocaine), criminal conspiracy to posses with the intent to deliver (cocaine) and criminal conspiracy to possess a controlled substance (cocaine). In a related case, Prisk was found guilty of possession of a controlled substance (marijuana), possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance (marijuana), criminal conspiracy to possess with intent to deliver (marijuana) and possession of paraphernalia.
