A 62 year old man from Bottineau, North Dakota, convicted of Possession with Intent to Distribute a Controlled Substance has been sentenced by Judge Karen E. Schreier, U.S. District Court in South Dakota.
Jeffrey Walters must serve four years and nine months in federal prison, followed by three years supervised release, and was ordered to pay $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
The conviction stems from Walters possessing, with intent to distribute, 1,288 grams of methamphetamine, 80 grams of cocaine, and 14 grams of marijuana near Buffalo, SD, which was found after Walters came into contact with a Harding County Sheriff’s Deputy in March 2020.
This case was investigated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the Harding County Sheriff’s Office, and the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric Kelderman prosecuted the case.
Walters was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
