Sioux Falls Man Sentenced to 10 Years for Involvement in Meth Conspiracy

A 10-year sentence was handed down to Ashton Aman, a 37-year-old Sioux Falls resident, for his role in a methamphetamine conspiracy. According to court records, Aman was convicted of Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled Substance.

The conviction stems from Aman’s involvement in a large-scale methamphetamine distribution operation. During the period of February 2, 2021, Aman and his co-conspirators distributed over 500 grams of methamphetamine in the District of South Dakota and elsewhere. Aman was found to have knowingly and intentionally combined, conspired, confederated, and agreed together with others to distribute the controlled substance.

Aman was initially indicted by a federal grand jury on February 2, 2021. He subsequently pleaded guilty to the charges on July 12, 2021. The investigation into Aman’s activities was led by Homeland Security Investigations and the Sioux Falls Area Drug Task Force.

Following his guilty plea, Aman was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison. He will also serve 5 years of supervised release. Additionally, Aman was ordered to pay $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. He was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.

Aman’s case serves as a reminder of the severe consequences associated with involvement in large-scale narcotics distribution. The lengthy sentence handed down in this case underscores the commitment of law enforcement to disrupting and dismantling these types of operations.
