Sentencing delayed for John Hunter

Sentencing had been scheduled to take place today for John M. Hunter on federal charges for distributing drugs.

Hunter requested and was granted a delay in sentencing due to him being a potential kidney donor to a friend.

Hunter pleaded guilty to one federal count of conspiracy to distribute controlled substances.

Langlade County had filed charges against Hunter but eventually the case was taken over by the federal court.

Hunter was one of the fifteen people charged in the Antigo drug ring, which involved teachers and a principal and coach.

Hunter could be sentenced to 40 years in prison.
