A Mexico, man will spend the next decade behind bars after pleading guilty to selling drugs near a school.

59-year-old Steven Duniphan (Do-na-fin) admitted to distributing multiple controlled substances near St. Brendan’s Catholic School in October 2024.

The Mexico Public Safety Department’s investigation uncovered marijuana, meth, prescription pills, and a ledger tracking drug sales.

Duniphan was sentenced to 10 years in the Missouri Department of Corrections on each of two counts.

His wife, Rhonda Duniphan, was also arrested, and her case is still pending with a court hearing set for February 9.
