Mitchell Man Sentenced on Drug Charges

A Mitchell man was sentenced to fifteen years in prison Tuesday on a pair of felony drug charges. Police arrested 27 year old Jordan Muntefering in August of 2016 after he sold MDMA, also known as Ecstacy, to a confidential informant at his residence near Dry Run Creek.

A search of his home uncovered numerous illegal drugs including marijuana, cocaine and MDMA plus $33,000 cash. Lieutenant Don Everson called it one the largest drug arrests made in Mitchell

Judge Tim Bjorkman scolded Muntefering for pushing illegal drugs on addicts for money and, in his words, “you put into play the very processes that are harming your children.”

He sentenced Muntefering to ten years in prison for distribution of MDMA and five years for possession of MDMA with intent to distribute in a drug-free zone. He’s eligible for parole in 2023.
