Acting United States Attorney Dennis Holmes announced that a Sioux Falls, South Dakota, man convicted of Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled Substance was sentenced on March 8, 2021 by U.S. District Judge Karen E. Schreier.
Jonathan Edward Brown, age 34, was sentenced to 84 months in federal prison, followed by four years of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.
Brown was indicted by a federal grand jury on September 1, 2020. He pled guilty on December 14, 2020.
The conviction stemmed from incidents beginning on an unknown date and continuing until on or about September 1, 2020, when Brown knowingly and intentionally combined, conspired, confederated, and agreed with others to distribute a mixture and substance containing 100 grams or more of heroin.
Brown voluntarily and intentionally joined in the agreement to distribute heroin. Brown also knew the purpose of the agreement. Brown obtained over 100 grams of heroin from a co-conspirator and re-distributed to drug customers in the District of South Dakota and elsewhere. Heroin is a Schedule I controlled substance.
This case was investigated by the Sioux Falls Area Drug Task Force and the Drug Enforcement Administration. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer D. Mammenga prosecuted the case.
Brown was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
