* A 39-year-old Willmar man was sentenced Thursday after pleading guilty to a felony drug charge.
Terry Michael Mead was charged with two first-degree counts of possessing a controlled substance and aiding and abetting in the sale of a controlled substance. Mead pleaded guilty Sept. 5 to an amended count of second-degree controlled substance crime.

On Thursday, Judge David L. Mennis sentenced Mead to 62 months in prison and fined him $1,000. The prison time was stayed as part of the plea agreement.
However, Mead was put on probation for 10 years and must also serve 365 days in jail as part of the sentencing conditions. He was given credit for 67 days already spent in jail.
Charges were filed against Mead after a Sept. 24, 2004, incident when a confidential informant was able to purchase more than 13 grams of methamphetamine from Mead and another man, Robert Edward Workman, 24, of New London.
The drug purchase was monitored by CEE-VI Drug Task Force agents. According to the complaint, the confidential informant set up the drug purchase through Mead at his residence along the 300 block of Ferring Street in Willmar. The confidential informant told agents that Workman handed him two bags of methamphetamine while he was at Mead's residence. Mead was also present during the drug purchase.
Workman was charged with two first-degree drug charges for possession and aiding and abetting. A jury found Workman guilty on both counts Sept. 13. He was sentenced Oct. 5 to 86 months in prison and fined $50. Workman was given credit for 102 days already served in jail.
