Iowa Man Lands 151 Months for Methamphetamine Possession
A Sioux City man is facing the harsh reality of a lengthy prison sentence after being convicted of methamphetamine possession. Alan Calderon Reyes, 23, was sentenced to 151 months in prison on April 25, 2018, for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine announced United States Attorney Marc Krickbaum.
The ordeal began on April 10, 2017, when Reyes led law enforcement on a high-speed car chase in Washington County, Nebraska. After crossing the Iowa state line into Pottawattamie County, Pottawattamie County deputies continued the pursuit, eventually apprehending Reyes. A large quantity of methamphetamine was seized from his vehicle following his arrest.
Reyes’ vehicle lost control during the chase and ended up in a ditch. He attempted to flee on foot but was eventually caught. The incident highlights the dangers of methamphetamine and the importance of law enforcement working together to combat the issue.
The case was investigated by a multi-agency task force consisting of the Washington County, Nebraska Sheriff’s Office, Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office, Southwest Iowa Narcotics Task Force, and Iowa Division of Narcotics Enforcement. The United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa prosecuted the case.
Reyes’ sentence serves as a reminder of the severe consequences that come with methamphetamine possession and distribution. The 151-month sentence is a significant blow to those involved in the illicit drug trade.
The investigation and prosecution of methamphetamine cases require a collaborative effort from law enforcement agencies and the community. The Grimy Times will continue to provide updates on similar cases as they arise.
