FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — On May 20, a Fayetteville man was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison after being convicted of distributing methamphetamine, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Arkansas.

Between late 2022 and mid-2023, undercover agents purchased methamphetamine from Ulysses Bush, 44, and seized more methamphetamine from him during traffic stops in Oklahoma and Arkansas.
