POCATELLO, Idaho (AP) — An eastern Idaho man has been sentenced to more than 17 years in federal prison for conspiracy to deliver a controlled substance.

U.S. Attorney Bart Davis said in a prepared statement that 47-year-old Steven Tobin was the leader of a methamphetamine ring that targeted Idaho.

Authorities searched Tobin’s Blackfoot home in June of 2017, where investigators said they found more than 6 pounds of methamphetamine, more than $30,000 and 49 firearms.

Tobin pleaded guilty to the charge in November. He was sentenced by U.S. District Judge David Nye Monday.
