HELENA — Michael Wayne Hagman, who admitted to selling methamphetamine and fentanyl, has been sentenced to more than 11 years in federal prison, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Hagman received a 136-month sentence on Wednesday after pleading guilty to possession with intent to distribute controlled substances. 



Investigators say they intercepted a package with two pounds of meth headed to his home and later found large amounts of meth, fentanyl, nearly $40,000 in cash, and several firearms during a search. 



Hagman admitted he was getting the drugs from a co-conspirator and selling them throughout the Helena area. The co-conspirator would sometimes front him to sell and Hagman admitted he resold the meth at higher prices to make a profit.

The U.S Attorney's office prosecuted the case with the Missouri River Drug Task force, Helena Police, Lewis & Clark County Sheriff's Office and other agencies conducted the investigation.
