Moe, 28, of Culver plead guilty in Marshall County Superior Court No. 1 on one count of Dealing Methamphetamine as a Level 2 Felony and one count of Dealing Methamphetamine as a Level 4 Felony.

On April 1, 2019, the UNIT orchestrated another controlled buy at the Red Rock Inn whereby Moe sold 16.9 grams of methamphetamine to UNIT officers and/or their confidential informants. These two sales were the basis for the Level 2 Dealing in Methamphetamine charge.
Judge Bowen accepted the plea agreement and, after hearing testimony from Moe and arguments from Napier and Berdahl, imposed an aggravated sentence of 20 years for 2 the Level 2 Felony Dealing Count and 8 years for the Level 4 Felony Dealing Count to run concurrently.
