SCOTT CITY –  A Scott City man was convicted Thursday of distribution of methamphetamine and interference with law enforcement, according to Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt.

Richard Alexander Heberlee, 32, was found guilty of the two charges by a Scott County jury. The jury also found Heberlee not guilty of distribution of a controlled substance causing death. Judge Wendel W. Wurst presided over the trial. Sentencing has been set for October 12 at 3pm in Scott County District Court.

The crimes were committed in January 2014. The charges stemmed from an investigation by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. Assistant Attorney Lyndzie Carter of Schmidt’s office is prosecuting the case.
