AUBURN – An Auburn man has been sentenced to four years in prison for providing liquor to a teenager who died after gulping down most of a bottle of vodka.

Larando Sweeting, 24, pleaded guilty Thursday to a single count of felony furnishing liquor to a minor in connection with November’s alcohol poisoning death of 18-year-old Adam Beggs.

According to court documents, Sweeting bought a half-gallon of vodka and a fifth of whiskey with money pooled from underage drinkers at his apartment.
