A federal judge has sentenced a 31 year old man from Manderson convicted at trial of Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled Substance.
Alec Respects Nothing must spend 12 years in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release, and pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
During his involvement in the conspiracy, Respects Nothing obtained methamphetamine from multiple large scale methamphetamine suppliers, which he then sold to others, primarily on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Many of the people Respects Nothing supplied with methamphetamine went on to further distribute it to others.
This case was investigated by the Badlands Safe Trails Drug Enforcement Task Force, which is comprised of agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Oglala Sioux Tribe Department of Public Safety, the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Respects Nothing was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
