A Burlington man will serve five years in federal prison on a drug charge. Thirty-four-year-old Christopher Ryan Walz was sentenced for conspiracy to distribute 11 pounds or more of cocaine.

Court records show from during or about 2009 and continuing until on or about April 24, 2013, Walz conspired with others to purchase and distribute the cocaine in the Burlington area.

Law officers conducted a search of Walz’ Burlington residence and seized cocaine, marijuana, digital scales, packaging material, and drug paraphernalia.
