A Marion man was sentenced to 120 months in custody after being convicted of conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine.
Larry Wayne Alver, age 37, was sentenced on December 30, 2013, by U.S. District Court Judge Karen E. Schreier. As part of his sentence, Alver is also required to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
Alver was indicted by a federal grand jury on May 8, 2013, for Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled Substance. He pled guilty on September 9, 2013.
During his involvement in the conspiracy, Alver purchased methamphetamine from a co-conspirator and distributed it. He also facilitated the distribution of methamphetamine by introducing his source of supply to another dealer.
This case was investigated by the Sioux Falls Police Department, the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation, and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Assistant U.S. Attorney John E. Haak prosecuted the case.
Alver was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
U.S. Attorney Brendan V. Johnson announced the sentencing, which marks a major victory in the fight against methamphetamine trafficking in South Dakota.
