Man sentenced to 5 years for selling meth

ANCHORAGE - An Alaska man convicted of selling methamphetamine has been sentenced to five years and three months in federal prison.

Prosecutors said 54-year-old Eulogio Seludo conspired with his son-in-law to sell methamphetamine in Ketchikan in 2007 and 2008.

Shortly before issuing the sentence Monday, U.S. District Court Judge Ralph R. Beistline said Seludo was willing to poison the community of Ketchikan for his own personal needs, and the evidence presented at trial was "overwhelming."

A federal jury deliberated for almost four hours before convicting Seludo in August.
