Sun Prairie Man Sentenced On Cocaine Distribution Convictioni

A Sun Prairie man was sentenced to 18 months in prison on federal cocaine distribution charges.

Timothy Lee, 28, of Sun Prairie, pleaded guilty in April to distributing 55.9 grams of cocaine in September 2010, according to court officials.

U.S. District Judge William Conley noted during the sentencing hearing that Lee sold cocaine to undercover law enforcement officers six times from September to December 2010. Conley also expressed concerns over pictures of Lee holding an AK-47 assault rifle. He said those reasons were why he handed out a sentence that was on the high end of the advisory guidelines.

Lee's conviction was the result of an investigation conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Dane County Narcotics and Gang Task Force.
