Federal prosecutors announced Tuesday that a 33-year-old Clark County man has been sentenced for dealing methamphetamine while on supervised release for a firearms crime.
U.S. District Judge Benjamin H. Settle handed down a 5½-year prison term Monday against Joshua Adam Hoover, who was out of custody following a 2011 conviction for illegally selling a gun, when he sold the meth, according to a Department of Justice news release.
Prosecutors say Hoover sold the drugs to a confidential source working with law enforcement in June and July 2018. The sales happened at a McDonald’s parking lot in Battle Ground, and were audio and video recorded, according to the government’s sentencing memorandum.
Battle Ground police officers arrested Hoover in August and recommended state charges, but he was taken into federal custody in October, prosecutors said.
