At the time of these transactions, Knotts was already on federal supervised release following a prior conviction in the Central District of Illinois for conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine.
Following his imprisonment, Knotts will be subjected to a five-year term of supervised release. The federal system does not offer parole options.
