Weston man sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for methamphetamine trafficking

Wausau Pilot & Review Staff WAUSAU, Wis. — A 39-year-old Weston man has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for trafficking methamphetamine while awaiting sentencing in a separate state drug case. Mark Wortham was sentenced last week by Chief U.S. District Judge James D. Peterson after pleading guilty Aug. 26 to possessing 50 grams or more of methamphetamine with intent to distribute and maintaining a property for drug trafficking, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Wisconsin. Federal prosecutors said Wortham sold drugs to a confidential informant five times between May and November 2025 from his home in Wausau. At the time, he was out on bond awaiting sentencing in a state drug trafficking case. A subsequent search of the home uncovered nearly 200 grams of various controlled substances, more than $5,000 in cash, a digital scale, drug paraphernalia and a hidden storage compartment in a staircase, prosecutors said.
