A Detroit Lakes man was sentenced to 11 years in a federal prison for distributing methamphetamine on the White Earth Reservation.
According to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, 38-year-old Eric Bergstrom pleaded guilty last December and was sentenced yesterday.
According to Bergstrom’s guilty plea and court documents, law enforcement installed a tracking device on Bergstrom’s vehicle last August, and one week later, Bergstrom was at a residence near Wadena where he was attempting to remove the device.
Law enforcement then took Bergstrom into custody, and upon arrest, found three grams of meth on his person and another seven ounces in the backseat of his vehicle.
Bergstrom reportedly admitted to bringing large quantities of drugs into the White Earth Reservation.
