FORT DODGE — A Northern Iowa meth dealer who admitted distributing approximately 30 pounds of methamphetamine and keeping a handgun at her home has been sentenced to more than 12 years in federal prison.
Sally Marie Green, 52, of Fort Dodge, was sentenced in federal court in Sioux City to 151 months behind bars after previously pleading guilty to conspiracy to distribute more than 500 grams of methamphetamine.
Green (pictured at top) entered her guilty plea on March 11, 2026.
According to federal prosecutors, Green admitted that she participated in a methamphetamine distribution operation from January 2024 through April 2025.
Investigators learned in April 2025 that Green was allegedly operating as a pound-level meth distributor in the Fort Dodge area.
On April 1, 2025, law enforcement officers purchased approximately one-quarter pound of methamphetamine from Green.
Officers searched her home later that day and recovered approximately 585 grams of methamphetamine, $3,000 in cash, drug-distribution materials, an unloaded .45-caliber pistol and ammunition.
Green admitted responsibility for distributing approximately 30 pounds of methamphetamine during the conspiracy.
U.S. District Court Judge Leonard T. Strand imposed the 151-month prison sentence.
Green must also serve five years of supervised release after completing the prison term.
There is no parole in the federal prison system.
Green remains in the custody of the United States Marshals Service while awaiting transportation to a federal prison.
The Webster County Sheriff’s Office investigated the case.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick T. Greenwood prosecuted the case.
