A federal judge handed down a harsh sentence to a Mobridge, South Dakota man convicted of Distribution of a Controlled Substance on November 2, 2015.
Troy Thompson, 43, received a 24-month custody term, followed by 3 years of supervised release, and a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
The conviction stems from incidents in May and June of 2014, when law enforcement made two controlled buys of methamphetamine from Thompson.
During the first buy, Thompson sold 2.22 grams of methamphetamine for $500.00 to a confidential informant. For the second buy, Thompson sold the confidential informant .57 grams of methamphetamine for $200.00.
Thompson’s supplier was Aaron Sackreiter, who fronted Thompson the methamphetamine, after which Thompson would sell it, and then give the money to Sackreiter. Sackreiter, in turn, would give Thompson some of the money back as payment for selling the methamphetamine.
This case was investigated by the Northern Plains Safe Trails Drug Enforcement Task Force and the Mobridge Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Miller prosecuted the case.
Thompson will report to the U.S. Marshals Service on November 24, 2015, to begin serving his sentence.
