Judge sentences violent drug dealer to 27 years

A Fargo-area man accused of assaulting and robbing a fellow drug dealer was sentenced Friday to 27 years in prison. Marc Cossette, 30, pleaded guilty in September to a federal drug conspiracy charge. Authorities allege that Cossette, who already had a violent criminal history, beat up and stole money from another drug dealer on two occasions in the parking lot of a Fargo hotel.
