Sheridan Man Changes Plea for Methamphetamine Delivery Charge

A 67-year-old Sheridan man changed his plea on a felony drug charge Tuesday in Fourth Judicial District Court. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

At the change of plea hearing, Donald Prosser, pursuant to the terms of a plea agreement reached with the State, pleaded guilty to the charge of delivery of a controlled substance – methamphetamine. Prosser, on May 1, 2024 delivered approximately a quarter-ounce of methamphetamine to a confidential informant. The arrest was the result of an investigation by the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation. The plea agreement recommends a split-sentence of 4 to 7 years in prison, suspended in lieu of 160 days in jail and three years of supervised probation. The plea deal is a non-binding agreement, meaning the Court can reject the plea agreement at sentencing and the defendant cannot withdraw their guilty plea.

District Court Judge Darci Phillips ordered that a presentence investigation be completed by the Department of Corrections Division of Probation and Parole and scheduled sentencing for February 4 at 9 am.
