A 49-year-old Hendersonville man was sentenced to 12 years in prison after a Henderson County jury convicted him of multiple drug charges.

Bruce Wayne Glover, of 249 West Poplar Drive, was convicted of Possession with the Intent to Manufacture, Sell or Deliver Methamphetamine, Heroin and Cocaine and found to be a habitual felon based upon prior felony convictions in both Henderson and Polk counties for illegal drug possession and obtaining property by false pretenses. He will be eligible for parole after serving 8 years.

According to the evidence presented at trial by the office of District Attorney Greg Newman, Glover was found to be in possession of illegal narcotics at 126 Southbrook Road in Hendersonville. A probation officer received information that Glover was dealing drugs from that location. A search by both the probation officer and law enforcement subsequently occurred at the residence on Southbrook Road, resulting in the discovery of Glover and the drugs.

“Glover was apparently living at this residence and had most of his personal belongings in his room,” Newman said in a news release. “It was at this point that he admitted to sheriff’s officers that he uses methamphetamine and prescription pills. He also had needles and pipes in his possession. He did not want to admit to officers that he sold drugs, but the presence of heroin, cocaine, and marijuana, plus the digital scales and baggies used for packaging found in his room, were clear indications that he participated in drug distribution."
