A Hickory man is sentenced to prison following conviction for habitual driving while impaired.

34-year-old Henry Pham will serve up to seven years – his sentence enhanced by his habitual felon status.

Pham has prior convictions for motor vehicle larceny in 2002, felony hit and run in 2009, and habitual impaired driving in 2015 – all charges imposed in Catawba County.

Court records show Pham had two prior DWI convictions in 2011 and in 2012.

The driving-while-impaired offenses were investigated by the NC Highway Patrol.

A search of the car turned up over 16 ounces of meth; reportedly having a street value of 186-thousand dollars.

Both men were charged with felony trafficking meth, and trafficking meth by transport.

Williams was also charged with misdemeanor giving false information to an officer, and driving while license revoked.

Both were placed in the Iredell Detention Center under 300-thousand dollar secured bonds each.
