2011 Arrest and Conviction in Wisconsin
Dana Beal was arrested on Jan. 6, 2011 with 186 pounds of marijuana during a traffic stop in Barneveld, Wisconsin. He and driver Lance Ramer of Omaha, Nebraska were held on $50,000 bond each in the Iowa County Jail in Dodgeville. Authorities won't release the police report because Federal officials say it might compromise a national drug investigation which runs "from California to New York, with multiple locations."
On September 20, 2011 Dana Beal was sentenced to 2-1/2 years in prison. He was credited with 267 days already served for the time he was in jail. He was also sentenced to 2-1/2 years parole after getting out of prison.

And blest Seth vexed us with Astronomie.”
