Man sent to prison for dealing meth on Rosebud Reservation

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — A Mission man has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for distributing methamphetamine on the Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation.

Authorities say 42-year-old William Whiting in 2014 and 2015 sold meth and also recruited others to sell the drug for him.

U.S. Attorney Randolph Seiler says Whiting pleaded guilty to a drug conspiracy charge. He'll be on supervised release for five years following his prison term.
