A Two Harbors man was among 13 people sentenced in what Duluth Police Chief Gordon Ramsay called “one of the largest methamphetamine cases in the history of our region.”
A five-year sentence was given to John Eugene Highland, 27, of Two Harbors. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to sell between 50 and 500 grams of meth.
According to court records, the dealers brought the meth from Mexico, shipping it through the Twin Cities and into the Twin Ports and the Iron Range.
The 13, all but one originally from or currently living in northeast Minnesota, were sentenced this week to punishments ranging from time served to 10 years in prison.
In total, 28 people were charged in connection with the meth ring.
