MADISON, Wis. — A Milwaukee man was sentenced Thursday for conspiring to distribute large quantities of heroin into Madison.
According to a news release, Michael Carroll, 50, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
The release said Carroll arranged to expand his drug-distribution operation from Milwaukee to Madison in September 2019. Over a two-month span, officials said Carroll conspired to sell heroin to an undercover police officer on multiple occasions. During the execution of search warrants at a Milwaukee residence, law enforcement agents also found several hidden firearms.
Authorities said Carroll has a lengthy criminal history dating back over 30 years, including gun crimes, drug crimes, and a reckless homicide.
