MITCHELL, S.D. (AP) — Two Utah men caught in South Dakota with 38 pounds of marijuana have pleaded guilty and been sentenced.
A judge on Tuesday gave eight-year prison terms with half of the time suspended to 38-year-old Dean Linthalath, of Orem, Utah, and 36-year-old Vongmany Mathinpannha, of West Jordan, Utah.
The Daily Republic newspaper reports that the two men were stopped in separate vehicles on Interstate 90 last December, and authorities uncovered the marijuana. The men pleaded guilty to possessing marijuana with the intent to sell the drugs.
