PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - A Pennsylvania man accused of having hashish oil in his motor home has been sentenced to nearly five years in prison.
U.S. Attorney Brendan Johnson says 53-year-old David Wallace has been sentenced to four years and nine months in prison. Wallace was also ordered to spend 3 years on supervised release and pay a $1,000 fine.
The man from Newton Square, Pa., pleaded guilty in 2013 to a charge of possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance.
Authorities say a South Dakota Highway Patrol trooper spoke with Wallace and other occupants of a motor home in March 2013 when they stopped for fuel. The trooper became suspicious and with the help of a narcotics-detection dog found four jars of hashish oil weighing almost 1.5 pounds in the motor home.
