Darrell Michael Ostlund, Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine, Oregon 2012

PORTLAND, Ore. – A Canby man has been sentenced to 140 months in federal prison for his role in a methamphetamine trafficking operation.

Darrell Michael Ostlund, 33, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Marco A. Hernandez for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.

The investigation into Ostlund’s activities began on April 9, 2012, when an Oregon State Police trooper pulled over a car for speeding near Canby. A small safe in the car contained methamphetamine and packaging material.

A warrant was issued for Ostlund’s arrest after he failed to appear on earlier charges. On June 15, 2012, Canby police detectives arrested Ostlund at a Wilsonville motel, where they found two large baggies of methamphetamine and $3,271 in currency.

Ostlund’s problems with the law date back to his teenage years. He first used marijuana at age 15, began using methamphetamine at age 17, and turned to cocaine at age 18.

The case was investigated by the Canby Police Department, Oregon State Police, Portland Police, and the Marion County Probation Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney John Haub prosecuted the case.

Ostlund’s history of crime includes nine prior arrests and convictions, and he was on post-prison supervision abscond status at the time of his arrest in April, 2012.

The sentence of 140 months in prison is a consequence of Ostlund’s repeated offenses and his failure to take responsibility for his actions.
