Faulkton Man Sentenced for Methamphetamine Distribution
A Faulkton, South Dakota, man has been sentenced for his role in a methamphetamine distribution conspiracy.
Frank Daniel Facinelli, age 50, was sentenced to 60 months in federal prison, followed by four years of supervised release, a fine in the amount of $1,000, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.
Facinelli was convicted of Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine, a charge stemming from a conspiracy beginning no later than October 1, 2020, wherein Facinelli was involved with others outside of South Dakota to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine in and around Faulkton, South Dakota.
The conviction was announced by United States Attorney Dennis Holmes on February 3, 2022.
This case was investigated by the Northern Plains Safe Trails Drug Enforcement Task Force, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation, and the Faulk County Sheriff’s Office.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Meghan N. Dilges prosecuted the case.
Facinelli was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
The sentencing occurred just a few months after Facinelli pleaded guilty on November 4, 2021. He was indicted by a federal grand jury on February 8, 2021.
