(KNSI) — A Stearns County man has been convicted in federal court for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine while in prison.
Investigators say 39-year-old Robert Edward Maloney, Jr. used the prison telephones to communicate with co-conspirators. They obtained recordings of the phone calls, revealing Maloney directed and coordinated drug sales. He also arranged meetings and discussed prices and quantities.
The FBI Safe Streets Task Force, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the Cannon River Drug & Violent Offender Task Force, the Paul Bunyan Drug Task Force, and the Minnesota Department of Corrections investigated the case.
A sentencing date has not been set.
