CHEYENNE, Wyo.-
A federal judge has sentenced the leader of a methamphetamine trafficking ring that operated in Wyoming and northern Colorado to 60 years in prison.
U.S. District Judge Alan B. Johnson on Thursday sentenced James “Sal” Sali, 42, to 60 years in federal prison.
Sali pleaded guilty in January to one count of distributing methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a public school, one count of carrying a gun while trafficking in drugs and one count of conspiracy to distribute meth.
Sali was arrested in January 2006 after leading police on a high-speed chase through Cheyenne in which he fired gunshots that hit a sheriff’s department patrol car.
