A Fort Thompson, South Dakota, man convicted of Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled Substance has been sentenced to 72 months in federal prison.
Michael George Fallis, age 41, was also sentenced to 4 years of supervised release, a $1,000 fine, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.
Fallis was indicted by a federal grand jury on April 9, 2019. He pled guilty on May 30, 2019.
The conviction stemmed from a drug conspiracy that began at a time unknown, but no later than December 1, 2015, and continuing to November 14, 2018. Prosecutors said Fallis knowingly and intentionally conspired with others to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute over 500 grams of methamphetamine on the Crow Creek and Lower Brule reservations in South Dakota.
Fallis was a dealer for Frank “Tank” Adams, who was convicted of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance at a federal jury trial in August. Fallis allowed Adams to deal methamphetamine out of his home. A federal search warrant conducted at Fallis home recovered meth, baggies, scales and other drug paraphernalia items.
