Michael Reimers, 41, pleaded guilty in April to one count of distribution of a controlled substance and one count of dealing in firearms without a license. Reimers in 2019 sold a large quantity of methamphetamine and guns, including an AK-47, a .26 caliber handgun and a 12-gauge shotgun, authorities said.
A Las Vegas judge sentenced Reimers to 32 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, the Justice Department announced Tuesday.
