United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Kyle,
South Dakota, man convicted of Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled Substance
has been sentenced by Chief Judge Jeffrey L. Viken, U.S. District Court.
Derek Tyon, age 25, was sentenced to 10 years in federal
prison, followed by 5 years of supervised release, and a $100 special
assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
Tyon was indicted by a federal grand jury on March 20, 2018,
for Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled Substance. He pled guilty to that charge on February 15,

coordinated with several other individuals over several years to obtain and distribute
multiple pounds of methamphetamine.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the Badlands Safe Trails Drug Enforcement Task Force. Assistant U.S. Attorney Gina Nelson
prosecuted the case.
Tyon was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S.
