Wausau man receives federal prison for dealing meth

A Wausau man has been sentenced to federal prison for dealing meth. 

Jonathan Rodriguez, 39, of Wausau will be headed to federal prison for 8 years after he pleaded guilty in August to dealing methamphetamines, according to a press release from US District Attorney for the Western District. 

Officers received a tip that Rodriguez in late 2023 had a large amount of meth on him. When police searched him they found 319 grams of meth on him, repackaged for distribution. Rodriguez admitted to selling about a pound of meth prior to his arrest, the press release says. 

The charges came following an investigation involving both the Wausau Police Department and the Marathon County Sheriff’s Office.
