Russell Forrest, the Bridgeville man recently sentenced for charges of molesting a 3-year-old girl, was sentenced to an additional year for drug charges, Bridgeville police Chief Chad King said Thursday.

Forrest was sentenced April 17 to serve three to six years in prison for molesting a 3-year-old girl last August.

King said that on April 30, Forrest was sentenced to an additional year in prison for charges of possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance. However, King said the additional year is to be served concurrently with the three to six year jail sentence imposed on April 17.
