A Philadelphia man was sent to state prison for dealing synthetic marijuana in the Bucks County Correctional Facility in Doylestown.
Paul B. Stanley, 29, of Philadelphia, was sentenced by Bucks County Judge Wallace Bateman this month to six to 15 years in a state correctional institution on charges including possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and possession of contraband by an inmate. He also was ordered to serve 10 years of consecutive probation.

Stanley, who was in the county lockup on a Bensalem possession with intent to deliver drugs case, was dealing synthetic marijuana, better known as “K-2,” inside the confines of the facility, according to authorities.
Stanley did not smoke K-2 but would sell it to inmates and loan them money.
Stanley was caught last December with 69 packets of K-2 and $1,100 cash, authorities said.

Deputy District Attorney Marc Furber said in court that Stanley told investigators he was stockpiling cash his wife would bring to the correctional facility to save for a house. The Philadelphia man said he was safeguarding the cash from his wife, who he claimed “overspends and shops online.”
Inside his cell, Stanley found a ledger and receipts that he kept for the purpose of selling items and loaning money in the prison.

It was not released how the drugs were smuggled into the correctional facility.
