BOISE – David Fischer, 26, of Boise, Idaho, was sentenced today to 100 months in federal prison for distribution of methamphetamine, U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson announced. Chief U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill also ordered Fischer to serve four years of supervised release following his prison term and forfeit $12,000, which represents money Fischer received from dealing methamphetamine. Fischer pleaded guilty to the charge in October 2011.

According to court documents, Fischer admitted selling approximately one-half ounce of methamphetamine in Idaho on two occasions, December 15, 2010, and January 4, 2011.
