MADISON, Wis. — A southern Wisconsin man was sentenced Wednesday to eight years in prison for possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Wisconsin said.
Carl Rabe, 44, pleaded guilty to the charge in April.
In a news release, the justice department said police identified Rabe as one of several people who were distributing methamphetamine in western Wisconsin. As part of an investigation, a Lancaster police officer arrested Rabe on an outstanding warrant in a parking lot on October 20, 2021.
At the time he was arrested, Rabe had 425 grams of methamphetamine, a scale and packaging materials in his vehicle, the release said.
Another man, Christopher Fernette, was sentenced last month to 10 years in prison on a similar charge for partnering with Rabe. A third person, Dillan Boydston, pleaded guilty Wednesday to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and is scheduled to be sentenced on November 3.
