Sanborn, Iowa — A Sanborn woman was sentenced to eight years in federal prison after pleading guilty to one count of Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine Within One Thousand Feet of a Protected Location.
According to a release from the US Attorney’s Office, 33-year-old Jamie Williams of Sanborn distributed more than six pounds of methamphetamine from her Sanborn residence between 2015 and January 2018. Officials say Williams lived within one thousand feet of Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn Middle School. In January 2018, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Williams’ residence, and according to authorities, seized more than 120 grams of pure methamphetamine from Williams’ purse.
Prosecutors say Williams was sentenced Friday morning (March 8th) in Sioux City by United States District Court Chief Judge Leonard T. Strand. She was sentenced to eight years’ imprisonment. She must also serve an eight-year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system.
Williams is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until she can be transported to a federal prison.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Mikala M. Steenholdt and investigated by the Clay County Sheriff’s Office, O’Brien County Sheriff’s Office, Dickinson County Sheriff’s Office, and Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.
