Minneapolis Man Sentenced To 20 Years

A Minneapolis man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for transporting methamphetamine to a distributor in North Dakota.

A federal jury found Tyson Trotter guilty of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute a controlled substance.

Authorities say Trotter dealt more than 500 grams of meth.

Trotter was arrested in November 2014 after authorities observed him meeting with a man from Grand Forks in the parking lot of a business in Fergus Falls.

Authorities say a search of Trotter’s vehicle yielded more than $16,000 in cash.
