LAS VEGAS, Nev. – The last defendant in a methamphetamine
distribution conspiracy was sentenced today to 10 years and one month in

pleaded guilty and were sentenced to prison. Robert Smith, a separately charged
co-conspirator, was sentenced to 14 years. Co-conspirator Derrick James Haywood
was also charged separately and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
