MADISON, Wis. — A Sun Prairie man will spend more than 10 years in prison after pleading guilty last year to a methamphetamine distribution charge, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Wisconsin said Monday.
A judge sentenced Daniel Gibbs, 37, on Friday to 10 years and one month in prison. He had pleaded guilty in September to a charge of distributing 50 grams or more of meth, the justice department said in a news release. He had faced three separate distribution charges and later a charge of possession with intent to distribute one kilogram or more of a substance containing a detectable amount of heroin, court records show.
According to the release, Gibbs sold a pound of meth to a confidential source three times in Sun Prairie in August and September 2021. Agents got a search warrant for the Sun Prairie home in November 2021 and reportedly found around four pounds of heroin, a kilogram press and a loaded gun inside.
Gibbs “previously served substantial time in federal prison for a violent crime involving kidnapping and extortion,” the release added.
