An Iowa man was sentenced to six years in prison for selling crack at a candy store, officials say. 

The Huffington Post reports that Dubuque, Iowa native Dwayne Howard was sentenced yesterday after pleading guilty to distributing crack cocaine near a playground in October. According to the Huffington Post, the 36-year-old admitted to selling crack to an undercover officer at his business, Wayne's Candy, in February. One incriminating detail of the legal process was that Howard would encourage the officer to take items from the store's shelves during their encounters so they'd appear legal.

Following his release, Howard must spend the following six years under supervision.
