An Eau Claire man arrested after a search by the Augusta K9 Unit was sentenced in Eau Claire County Court.

According to the Augusta Police Department, back in February of last year, a traffic stop occurred at the Kwik Trip on Otter Road in Eau Claire after officers noticed suspicious behavior from the driver and passenger.

The K9 unit, Turbo, indicated there were drugs in the vehicle. After a search, they found methamphetamine, cocaine, ecstasy, LSD, and other items. They also found $5,000 in currency.

Back in March, Restad was found guilty of, due to a no contest plea, possession with intent to deliver heroin and possession with intent to deliver other schedule I controlled substances. Several other charges were dismissed and read in.

He was sentenced to 6 years in prison and 10 years of extended supervision.
