Anthony Wayne Ledoux, 35, of Austin was charged on Friday in Mower County District Court with felony first-degree sales of 17 grams or more of methamphetamine.

According to the court complaint, Mower County and Austin narcotics detectives met with a confidential reliable informant (CRI) who indicated he could buy methamphetamine from Ledoux.

The CRI was searched and provided with buy money and an audio transmitter.

The CRI was then monitored as he went to the buy location and entered a blue Ford Edge, where Ledoux sold him 19.757 grams of methamphetamine, the complaint states. The CRI then met the detectives at a predetermined location and surrendered the drugs.

A review of Ledoux’s criminal record shows prior convictions for disorderly conduct and theft by check.

Ledoux will appear in court again on Oct. 4.
