A judge has sentenced a member of the Short North Posse gang to three years in federal prison for selling cocaine. 26-year-old Jason Barnes is the first of 20 gang members to be sentenced for their roles in the enterprise. Five others are expected to be sentenced this week. The gang members were arrested last December.
