A St. Croix County man pleaded guilty to dealing meth in federal court Friday.

The U.S. Attorney's Office says 40-year-old Wayne Ruoho from Baldwin will be charged in January. He pleaded guilty to charges of conspiring to distribute methamphetamine.

Court records show Ruoho traveled with co-conspirators from Minnesota to California taking large amounts of cash to buy multi-pound quantities of meth.

It says Ruoho and his partners sold the meth to people in St.Croix, Pierce and Dunn counties. Investigators say his co-conspirators also sold the meth in Barron, Washburn, St. Croix, Pierce and Dunn counties
