MADISON, Wis. — A Madison man was sentenced to just over nine years in federal prison Monday for selling methamphetamine, the U.S. Department of Justice announced.
Derrick Shelton, 30, pleaded guilty in May to distributing 50 grams or more of meth. He was sentenced to 110 months in prison.
DOJ officials alleged that Shelton sold two ounces of meth to an undercover police officer in October 2021. He then allegedly sold eight ounces of meth to the officer later that month.
Agents searched Shelton’s home in Madison in November 2021, allegedly founding heroin, meth, three firearms and $15,882 in cash. Shelton was reportedly under extended supervision in Dane County for armed robbery and burglary convictions at the time of the alleged meth sales.
