BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - A 31-year-old Oklahoma man has been sentenced to 11 years in prison for selling drugs in the North Dakota oil patch.
Timothy Sumpter, of Sallisaw, Oklahoma, pleaded guilty in March to a federal charge of possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance.
Authorities say a traffic stop near Bowman in March 2014 yielded about two pounds of methamphetamine and a half-pound of heroin that had been transported from California. Sumpter was one of three people in the vehicle.
U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland says Sumpter must serve five years of supervised release when he finishes his prison term.
