Sioux Falls man sentenced on Lake County drug charge

A Sioux Falls man was sentenced in Lake County last week on a felony drug charge.  44-year-old Jeremy Paulson of Sioux Falls had earlier pleaded guilty to a charge of Unauthorized Ingestion of a Controlled Drug or Substance and to being a habitual offender.  Circuit Judge Pat Pardy sentenced Paulson to serve five years in the state penitentiary, and suspended two years based on several conditions.  Some of those conditions include that Paulson pay fine, costs, and restitution and reimburse the county for his court-appointed attorney’s fees.  Judge Pardy ordered that Paulson’s Lake County sentence run consecutive to a sentence he received in Moody County.
