Tyrek Kevon London, 22, Minot, was sentenced on Tuesday to 10 years in prison, with a requirement that he serve four years, and three years of supervised probation for Class A felony conspiracy to deliver methamphetamine and Class A felony delivery of methamphetamine. He was sentenced to two years in prison for intent to deliver marijuana, concurrent with the other sentence.

The state dismissed other charges in exchange for the guilty plea.

London must also obtain a chemical dependency evaluation and pay court costs and fines and surrender cash and firearms seized by authorities.

According to court documents, London delivered 55 grams of meth in March to a confidential informant working for the Ward County Narcotics Task Force. On March 11, task force officers staked out a home at 413 4th Street SW and tailed someone who came out of the house who had bought 63 grams of marijuana from London at the residence. Officers obtained a search warrant and found additional drugs, more than $10,000 in U.S. currency in different locations, firearms and ammunition.

“Mr. London is the main mover-shaker and problem maker,” Ward County Deputy State’s Attorney Todd Schwarz told Judge Todd Cresap.

Two co-defendants, Jason Octavious Austin Jr., 21, and Jamaiceo Javaris Nesbitt, 22, were given suspended sentences, with credit for time served, and supervised probation for their role in the crime. Schwarz said Austin and Nesbitt were “back up guys.” Their housemate, Destiny Naeeba Nafisatou Allen, 25, is scheduled to go to trial on Nov. 3 on a Class C felony charge of maintaining a home where drug dealers have been selling drugs. London agreed to testify against Allen as one of the terms of his plea deal.

London told the judge that he accepts responsibility for his actions but “I’m not a bad person.”

Cresap told him that he will likely actually end up doing far less than four years in prison since the penitentiary often paroles people early. Cresap said London’s sentence should give him enough time to go through a drug treatment program at the penitentiary and, if he is compliant, he could be released early. London will get credit for 229 days already spent in jail plus 31 days off his sentence for good behavior.
