Wayne Douglas Nystel, 60, of Mapleview was charged on Friday in Mower County District Court with two counts of felony third-degree drugs-sale of a narcotic.

According to the court complaint, a confidential informant (CI) met with police about purchasing methamphetamine from Nystel on Aug. 9. The CI met with Nystel at his residence in the 100 block of Graham Street in Mapleview and purchased 1.36 grams of methamphetamine.

The CI made a second purchase from Nystel on Aug. 30, this time for 0.66 grams of methamphetamine, the complaint states.

The CI and his vehicle were searched before each meet and the police gave him an audio transmitter and buy money. The CI met with police at a designated spot after each purchase and surrendered the drugs.

A review of Nystel’s criminal record shows prior convictions for drug sales.

Nystel will appear in court again on Nov. 1.
