A 42-year-old woman who worked with others to distribute a significant amount of methamphetamine was sentenced Monday to more than 24 years in federal prison.
Candace Sue Thein from Dike received the prison term after an October 2024 guilty plea to one count of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance and one count of distribution of a controlled substance. Evidence disclosed at her sentencing showed that from December 2023 through May 22nd, 2024, Thein worked with others to receive numerous packages of ice methamphetamine and marijuana from a source of supply in California.
In total, the group received over 50 pounds of meth, which the group then distributed to individuals in Waterloo, Dike, Reinbeck, and Hudson.
There is no parole in the federal system.
