A former Kaukauna man was sentenced Sept. 15 to over 12 years in prison and ordered to forfeit over $140,000 after being convicted of possessing methamphetamine with the intent to distribute.
John Sloan, 58, pleaded guilty June 12 in the Eastern District of Wisconsin federal court in Green Bay to one count of possessing 500 grams or more of methamphetamine with the intent to distribute, according to court records. He was sentenced Sept. 15 to 12½ years in prison.
In August 2024, Sloan’s vehicle, home and multiple storage units were searched by Lake Winnebago Area Metropolitan Enforcement Group Drug Unit, according to a U.S. Department of Justice news release. Investigators siezed over seven pounds of methamphetamine, over $140,000 cash, four firearms and a vehicle, the release said. Sloan was ordered to forfeit the money, firearms and vehicle.
Sloan later admitted to obtaining large amounts of methamphetamine from a source in California and to distributing more than 20 pounds of methamphetamine in the Fox Valley area, the release said. At the time of the searches, Sloan was on state supervision for a distribution of methamphetamine conviction.
