His wife, 38-year-old Monica Waddell, had agreed to testify against him if his case went to trial. Prosecutors then lowered the drug charge against her.
According to The Hawk Eye, Curtis Waddell was sentenced on Monday. He must complete a drug court program in Fort Madison as part of his probation.
Last month, Monica Waddell was given five years of probation and a suspended prison term of 10 years.
Curtis Waddell told police he made the meth for his and his wife's personal use.
