METH PLEA: Fort Dodge Man Sentenced

A Fort Dodge man will spend 5 ½ years in prison after being convicted of conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine.

Thirty-two-year-old Phillip Farmer Jr. pleaded guilty to the charge on May 7^th and Wednesday he was sentenced of 66 months in federal prison. Farmer admitted to participating in a conspiracy to manufacture at least 50 grams of meth from December 2009 to July 2011. He also admitted to selling the drug in the Fort Dodge area.

There is no parole in the federal system which means Farmer will have to serve the full 66 month term of imprisonment. Once released, he’ll have to serve a five year term of supervised release.
