SIOUX CITY – An Iowa man who conspired to distribute methamphetamine by driving across the state to make pick-ups and sales of the notorious drug was sent to federal prison for over eleven years.
Jason Moore, age 30 from LeMars, Iowa, received the prison term on September 11, after earlier pleading guilty to conspiring to distribute methamphetamine.
At the guilty plea, Moore admitted his involvement in a conspiracy from about June of 2012 through March 2013, that distributed more than 500 grams of actual (pure) methamphetamine. During the time period of the conspiracy, Moore lived in Northwest Iowa and sold methamphetamine to various customers in Northwest and Central Iowa. Moore traveled to Des Moines, Iowa one or two times a week to obtain methamphetamine for resale in Central and Northwest Iowa.
Moore was sentenced in Sioux City by United States District Court Judge Donald E. O’Brien. Moore was sentenced to 162 months with credit for 19 months previously served for a current sentence of 143 months’ imprisonment. A special assessment of $100 was imposed. He must also serve a 5-year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system.
Moore is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.
