Drug dealer, 81, faces prison sentence

An 81-year-old man will spend at least 3 2/3 years in prison after he was convicted of four felonies Friday, including selling methamphetamine... and crack cocaine... Calvin D. Ott, 81, wore headphones hooked up to a microphone in Thurston County Superior Court so he could better hear the jury's verdict. Sheriff's deputies placed Ott in handcuffs after Judge Thomas McPhee ordered him taken into custody...

One commenter on the paper's website said: "Just because you're old doesn't mean you're not gonna commit a crime." I posted news of Ott's arrest last year.
