Man Convicted for Meth Possession with Intent
7 Jul
Summary
- Man sentenced to prison after meth found during traffic stop.
- Nearly 40 grams of methamphetamine were discovered.
- Guilty verdict reached after a two-day jury trial.
A Manitowoc man, Thao P. Xiong, was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in state prison following a jury's guilty verdict. The conviction relates to a March 10, 2025, incident where police discovered nearly 40 grams of methamphetamine. This amount exceeded typical user quantities.
Xiong was pulled over for illegal window tint and loud music. A K-9 unit alerted officers to the drugs, leading to the discovery of the methamphetamine and a digital scale hidden in a panel. He was found guilty of felony possession with intent to deliver, bail jumping, and misdemeanor drug paraphernalia possession.
Following a two-day trial in Manitowoc County Circuit Court, a jury convicted Xiong on all counts. Judge Mark Rohrer handed down the sentence, which includes three-and-a-half years of extended supervision for the drug possession charge. Sentences for other charges were considered satisfied by time served.
