SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — Michael Allen Youngberg, 50, was sentenced to 120
months in federal prison, five years of supervised release, and a special
assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.
Youngberg was indicted by a federal grand jury on September 1, 2020.
He pled guilty on January 22, 2021.
The conviction stemmed from incidents beginning on an unknown date
and continuing to on or about September 1, 2020, when Youngberg, along with
at least one other person, reached an agreement or came to an understanding
to distribute 500 grams or more of a mixture containing methamphetamine.
Youngberg facilitated the transportation and exchange of the
methamphetamine which was intended for re-distribution within South Dakota
and elsewhere. Methamphetamine is a Schedule II controlled substance.
This case was investigated by the South Dakota Division of Criminal
Investigation, the Sioux Falls Area Drug Task Force, and the Drug Enforcement
Administration. Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Tamara Nash prosecuted the
case.
Youngberg was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S.
Marshals Service.
