Description: WICHITA, KS – A Wichita man who sold an undercover buyer a pound of methamphetamine for $20,000 was sentenced Thursday to 121 months in federal prison, U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said.
Patrick C. Hains, 39, Wichita, Kan., pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and one count of unlawful possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking.
In his plea, Hains admitted he was arrested Jan. 14, 2014, at Pelican Point Apartments, 2150 N.
