A former Madison man who dealt hundreds of pounds of marijuana and who authorities believe has information about the unsolved Amos Mortier murder was sentenced Wednesday in federal court to two years and three months in prison and four years probation and fined $3,000.
Brian Hutchinson, 34, now of Fontana, Wis., was a University of Wisconsin student in August 2000 when he shared a house on Wingra Avenue with Reed Rogala, a man heavily involved in marijuana trafficking, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Dan Graber.
The house served as transfer point for the 100-pound shipments of marijuana that regularly arrived from suppliers in New York.
