U.S. Attorney Sheldon J. Sperling said Sloan was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Ronald A. White to 120 months in prison, 36 months of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment.
Sloan pleaded earlier to being in possession of a firearm after a former felony conviction.
Sperling said the conviction is a tribute to the work of Clint Johnson, Drug Task Force investigator, and Earl Beaver, senior Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics agent.
"These dedicated agents, who served as case agents during the investigation, led the search of a suspected clandestine drug lab site. They hit pay dirt at the secluded rural Broken Arrow residence," Sperling said.
"The investigation was initiated by a tip from Muldrow Police Chief Tony Lewis," Sperling said. "Testimony in the trial of co-defendant Howard McGehee revealed a continuing series of meth cooks last year. The drugs were manufactured in rural Wagoner County and mostly distributed in Sequoyah County."
Sperling said that on the morning of the scheduled trial, Sloan plead guilty to possession of a firearm. The charge arose from the same drug investigation when officers seized a firearm from the bedroom in which Sloan had been staying.
Sperling said McGehee, of Muldrow, is still awaiting sentencing.
