	*In January 2004, Nunn was ~~sentenced to more than 24 years~~ in ~~prison~~ for ~~buying two pounds~~ of cocaine ~~from~~ an ~~undercover agent in August 2002~~. He pleaded guilty to one ~~charge~~ of conspiracy to distribute cocaine. During sentencing ~~hearings~~, witnesses testified about Nunn's drug activity dating as far ~~back~~ as 1993.		Nunn was arrested on August 6, 2002, at a hotel in his hometown of Davenport, Iowa, moments after paying an agent $200 for one kilogram of cocaine that had an estimated street value of $24,000. He pleaded guilty on May 23, 2003, to one count of conspiracy to distribute cocaine.
	*In November 2007, at the ~~[[WBC]]'s 45th annual convention~~ in ~~Manila~~, ~~Philippines~~, ~~it was announced~~ that ~~"a plan to help two weight world champion Michael~~ Nunn~~, who is incarcerated and in desperate need~~ of ~~help, will be studied~~ and ~~presented~~."
	*[http://www.~~secondsout~~.~~com/USA/news.cfm~~?~~ccs=229&cs=19968 Interview~~ from prison]		On January 30, 2004, Nunn was sentenced to 292 months in federal prison by U.S. District Judge William Gritzner.

			Gritzner agreed to a higher sentencing guideline after considering Nunn's long history in drug trafficking and the likelihood he used a firearm during drug deals.

			During the three-day sentencing hearing, prosecutors called witnesses who testified about Nunn's drug activity dating back as far as 1993. Nunn, who accepted responsibility for buying the drugs in August 2002, denied his involvement in drug trafficking, pointing out that several of the witnesses were in prison and could have their sentences reduced for providing testimony.

			Nunn accused government lawyers of lying and scheming to bring him down.

			"You guys haven't shown me nothing," Nunn said in his statement to the judge. "Where are your facts, Mr. Prosecutor?"

			Nunn's original sentence was shortened by 57 months due to legislation regarding federal drug offenders, and he was released from prison on February 6, 2019.
