U.S. District Judge Jeffrey L. Viken has sentenced a Summerset man convicted of Distribution of a Controlled Substance.
Thomas Beetem, 27, was sentenced to 16 months in federal prison, followed by three years supervised release, and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
Beetem obtained a substance containing a mixture of heroin and fentanyl, and then distributed that substance to another person in Rapid City.
This case was investigated by the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation, Drug Enforcement Administration, Meade County Sheriff’s Department, and the Pennington County Sheriff’s Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kathryn N. Rich prosecuted the case.
