Benjamin Nordby, Joplin, was sentenced to 12 years in prison today during a hearing in U. S. District Court in Springfield.
Nordby pleaded guilty November 14 to possession and distribution of methamphetamine.
Judge Douglas Harpool's sentence was more than the seven years Nordby's attorney had requested, but less than the 16-year sentence the government asked for in a sentencing memorandum last week.
After he serves his sentence, Nordby will be under supervised probation for five years.
