Sioux Falls Man Sentenced to 210 Months for Methamphetamine Conspiracy
A Sioux Falls man has been sentenced to 210 months in prison for his role in a methamphetamine conspiracy. Milton Lewis Poole III, 28, was found guilty of Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine and was sentenced on May 6, 2016, by U.S. District Judge Karen E. Schreier.
According to the indictment, Poole was involved in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine in Sioux Falls in 2015. He distributed over 20 pounds of methamphetamine in the city and received several pounds of the substance in the mail.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer D. Mammenga prosecuted the case, which was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the United States Postal Inspection Service, and the Sioux Falls Area Drug Task Force.
Poole was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service after his sentencing. He was also ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund and will serve 5 years of supervised release after his prison sentence is completed.
The case against Poole began with an indictment issued by a federal grand jury on August 4, 2015. He pleaded guilty to the charge on February 11, 2016.
With his conviction, Poole faces a lengthy prison sentence and a significant financial penalty. The methamphetamine conspiracy is a serious crime that can have devastating consequences for individuals and communities.
As a result of this case, the public is reminded of the importance of drug enforcement and the efforts of law enforcement agencies to combat the distribution of illicit substances.
