A Merrill man has been sentenced to 14 years in federal prison for his role in a large-scale methamphetamine trafficking operation, according to a recent investigation.
Matthew White, 37, of Wausau, Wisconsin, was sentenced to 14 years in federal prison by Chief U.S. District Judge James D. Peterson for conspiracy to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine.
The investigation revealed that White received a total of three pounds of methamphetamine from his co-defendants Levi Bagne and Cory Freyermuth between July 23 and August 10, 2020, in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.
In addition, on July 28, 2020, a confidential informant purchased three ounces of methamphetamine from White in Wausau.
On the day of his arrest, officers seized $32,400 in drug proceeds belonging to White, which will be forfeited to the United States.
At the sentencing hearing, Judge Peterson described White as living a lifestyle full of drugs and drug dealing and noted his multiple prior felony convictions for drug trafficking and violence.
White pleaded guilty to the charge on March 14, 2022.
