Methamphetamine Trafficking Plagues Wisconsin – Xa Xiong, 32, St. Paul, Minnesota, has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for distributing methamphetamine.
The prison term will be followed by 5 years of supervised release. Xiong pled guilty to this charge on February 21, 2025.
On July 26, 2024, Xiong sold approximately one pound of methamphetamine to an undercover police officer in Menomonie, Wisconsin. A week later, Xiong met up with the same undercover officer to sell the officer two pounds of methamphetamine and was arrested during the attempted delivery.
The charges against Xiong were the result of an investigation conducted by the West Central Drug Task Force, Eau Claire Police Department, Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation, Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Clark County Sheriff’s Department. The ATF Madison Crime Gun Task Force also assisted with the case.
Xiong’s sentencing marked a significant milestone in the fight against methamphetamine trafficking in Wisconsin. Judge William M. Conley expressed concern over the large quantity of drugs the defendant was distributing, stating that it was far beyond what was necessary to support a personal drug habit.
Xiong’s case serves as a reminder of the severity of the consequences for those involved in methamphetamine trafficking. The Western District of Wisconsin will continue to work tirelessly to combat this threat and keep communities safe.
