A Sioux Falls man has been sentenced to 34 months in custody for his role in a synthetic drug and money laundering operation in South Dakota.
Corey Brandon Morrison, 25, was sentenced on March 18, 2014, by U.S. District Judge Karen E. Schreier for his involvement in the distribution of synthetic marijuana and money laundering.
Morrison was convicted of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance analogue and engaging in monetary transactions in property derived from specified unlawful activity.
According to court documents, Morrison sold controlled substance analogues to the Roll With It stores in Sioux Falls, which in turn sold them to customers.
On September 16, 2011, Morrison deposited $12,500 cash into his personal bank account, which were proceeds from the illegal distribution of controlled substances.
The investigation was conducted by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Sioux Falls Area Drug Task Force.
Senior Litigation Counsel John E. Haak and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer D. Mammenga prosecuted the case.
Morrison was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
