Madison, Wis. – Scott C. Blader, United States Attorney for
the Western District of Wisconsin, announced that Antron Allen, 34, Wausau,
Wisconsin, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge James D. Peterson to 11
years in federal prison for conspiracy to distribute 50 grams or more of pure
methamphetamine. Allen pleaded guilty to
this charge on November 28, 2018.
On April 17, 2018, officers with the Wausau Police
Department observed Allen and his co-defendant Nathaniel Drow sitting in a
vehicle in a parking lot in Wausau.
Officers were aware that Drow and Allen both had active arrest
warrants. As law enforcement officers
approached the vehicle, Drow jumped out of the passenger seat and dropped a
small baggie containing methamphetamine.
Officers searched the entire vehicle and found approximately 200 grams
of methamphetamine located in the front passenger door. Officers later searched Allen’s cell phone
and discovered that Allen and Drow had been working together to sell methamphetamine
in Wausau for at least a couple of weeks.
In imposing the sentence, Judge Peterson noted that Allen’s
long criminal history, spanning nearly 20 years, showed he is a dangerous and
irresponsible person. Judge Peterson
also stated that Allen had established a pattern of continuously committing
crimes shortly after being released from prior prison terms.
Drow was sentenced on November 8, 2018, to 10 years for his
role in the conspiracy.
The charges against Allen and Drow were the result of an investigation
by the Wausau Police Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation. The prosecution of this case has been handled
by Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron D. Wegner.
