LONG ISLAND, NY - An Amityville man was sentenced on Tuesday to nine years in prison and five years' post-release supervision for his role in one of the largest narcotics takedowns in Long Island history that operated along Route 110 in Nassau and Suffolk counties, according to Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas.

Branden Harris, a.k.a "Doughboy," 28, pleaded guilty on July 3 before Supervising Judge Teresa Corrigan to operating as a major trafficker and third degree criminal sale of a controlled substance, the DA said.

The NCDA recommended a sentence of 15 years to life imprisonment.

Harris' sentence stems from a nine-month long investigation that led to the indictment of 36 people in April 2017, the DA said.
