Eau Claire, Wis. – An Eau Claire man was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison after a methamphetamine trafficking case tied to large-scale drug distribution, drawing attention from regional law enforcement.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Wisconsin, Jason Bloedow, 41, was sentenced April 8 by U.S. District Judge William M. Conley after allegedly possessing methamphetamine with intent to distribute. Bloedow previously pleaded guilty on January 8.
Authorities said the case stems from activity in March and early April 2025, when Bloedow allegedly sold methamphetamine to a confidential informant. On April 24, 2025, officers stopped and arrested him while returning to Wisconsin from Minnesota, where investigators say he had obtained drugs.
A search of his vehicle revealed approximately 881 grams—nearly two pounds—of methamphetamine, according to officials. Bloedow later admitted to allegedly distributing about 28 pounds of methamphetamine and earning roughly $48,000 in a three-month period.
At sentencing, Judge Conley cited Bloedow’s criminal history and said his conduct had escalated over time. The court also focused on the increasing quantities of drugs involved in determining the 10-year sentence.
The investigation involved the West Central Drug Task Force, Dunn and Chippewa County Sheriff’s Offices, and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, with support from local district attorney offices. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Remington prosecuted the case.
Cases like this may be especially relevant to younger residents and workers as drug enforcement efforts continue across western Wisconsin communities.
