Federal officials said that on two occasions, he sold methamphetamine and heroin to a confidential source with the Drug Enforcement Administration and said that forensic testing of drugs seized by the DEA showed a “very high purity” methamphetamine that’s known as “ice.”
The court also ordered Felder to forfeit assets he gained that could be traced to the proceeds of his offense.
