Daniel Yuhasey

IRON MOUNTAIN — A jury Friday convicted a Kingsford man of selling drugs and imitation substances after a two-day trial in Dickinson County Circuit Court.

Daniel Yuhasey, 42, will be sentenced Jan. 20 for delivery or manufacture of methamphetamine, a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison; and manufacture or distribution of a controlled substance imitation, a two-year felony.

Yuhasey was convicted as a four-time habitual offender and could serve up to life in prison.

The jury deliberated for about an hour, according to a release from the Dickinson County Prosecutor’s Office. Evidence in the case included testimony from a confidential informant, the KIND Drug Enforcement Team and a forensic scientist from the Michigan State Police Forensic Science Division in Marquette.

According to the criminal complaints, Yuhasey sold suspected methamphetamine to a confidential informant during controlled transactions in October and November. Laboratory tests confirmed the substance sold in October was methamphetamine, while the material in the November sale was not a controlled substance, according to the complaints.
