Yandy Smith’s Hubby Sentenced To 8 Years In Prison

Authorities pulled Harris in after learning he was involved in drug trafficking conspiracy between 2005 to 2012. The conspiracy involved shipping large amounts of cocaine and heroin from downstate New York to the Rochester region.

Harris pleaded guilty to the charges back in April and was released on bail. All subsequent earnings he’s made from the VH1 show have gone straight to the feds – $170,000 in total has been handed over.

With his wife sitting in court with their 10 month-old daughter, Skylar, Harris apologized for his actions and spoke about recent work done in his community to teach children the value of staying in school and staying away from a life of criminal activity.

Yandy, who married Smith in a televised ceremony back in May, quickly took to Instagram to thank friends, family and fans for their continued support and to reiterate her commitment to her man.

“Thank you for your continued support,” the reality star wrote, “You have no idea how much your love and encouragement means. We finally have closure and are prepared and ready for all the future holds. God and love always prevails. Thank you God for family and love.”
