A Kaukauna man has been sentenced to 150 months in federal prison for possessing with the intent to distribute methamphetamine. John R. Sloan, 58, was sentenced on September 15, 2025, by Senior United States District Judge William C. Griesbach.
According to court records, in August 2024, investigators with the Lake Winnebago Area Metropolitan Enforcement Group – Drug Unit (“LWAM”) searched Sloan’s vehicle, residence, and multiple storage units. The search yielded over 7 pounds of methamphetamine, over $140,000 cash, four firearms, and a vehicle.
Sloan later admitted to obtaining large quantities of methamphetamine from a source of supply in California. He further admitted to distributing more than 20 pounds of methamphetamine in the Fox Valley area. This is not Sloan’s first run-in with the law, as he has over 40 prior criminal convictions dating back to 1985.
At the time of the offense, Sloan was on state supervision for a distribution of methamphetamine conviction. His history of criminal activity did not go unnoticed by the court, which handed down a significant sentence. In addition to the prison term, Sloan was ordered to forfeit to the government $142,190, three handguns, a shotgun, and a 2016 Dodge Challenger.
The case was investigated by LWAM, with assistance from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Wisconsin Department of Justice – Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI). It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Alex Duros. The sentence is a testament to the hard work and dedication of these agencies in combating drug trafficking in the area.
Richard G. Frohling, Acting United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, announced the sentencing.

The Department of Justice will continue to work tirelessly to bring those who engage in this activity to justice. As the war on drugs continues, it is clear that law enforcement agencies are committed to keeping our communities safe from the dangers of methamphetamine and other illicit substances.
