A north Iowa man was sentenced this week to more than 7 years in federal prison for possession of methamphetamine.
46-year-old Jeremy Thomas Scott from Charles City admitted that he was a passenger in a van that was stopped by law enforcement along Interstate 35 in Cerro Gordo County this past June 6th. Law enforcement had received a tip that Scott was traveling to Iowa from California with multiple pounds of meth. A search of the van by the Iowa State Patrol found about 4 pounds of methamphetamine seized from inside a Rice Krispies box.
Scott entered a guilty plea in October to one count of possession with the intent to distribute 500 grams of methamphetamine, and was sentenced in Sioux City for 90 months in prison, with no parole.
