Wagner Man Sentenced for Meth on Yankton Reservation

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Authorities say a Wagner man has been sentenced to seven years and three months in prison for methamphetamine trade on the Yankton Sioux Reservation in southeastern South Dakota.

U.S. Attorney Brendan Johnson says 39-year-old Julian Lee Winckler was sentenced on Monday.

Johnson says Winckler pleaded guilty in June to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.

Authorities say Winckler was involved in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine on the Yankton Sioux Reservation and sold the drug to a confidential source last year.
