Court documents state that Mower County and Austin narcotics detectives met with a confidential reliable informant (CRI) on Aug. 8, 2018, about buying 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 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.

In addition to probation, Ledoux must follow 18 conditions, perform 80 hours of community service and pay $3,085 in fines and fees. He received credit for 263 days served in jail.
