Fort Dodge Man Sentenced for Methamphetamine Ring
A 61-year-old man from Fort Dodge, Iowa was sentenced to federal prison for his role in a methamphetamine distribution ring.
Alan Eugene Beier was sentenced on August 19, 2025, in federal court in Sioux City, Iowa, for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
The evidence presented at the plea and sentencing hearings showed that on September 14, 2024, an officer with the Clear Lake Police Department was dispatched to a driving complaint. The officer located the motorcycle and conducted a traffic stop, arresting Beier for driving infractions.
During the search of Beier and the motorcycle, law enforcement recovered $864 in cash, 10 grams of cocaine, 82 grams of marijuana, and 235 grams of methamphetamine. Beier admitted to purchasing the methamphetamine, cocaine, and marijuana for $2,600 in Minnesota prior to being stopped and had plans to sell the methamphetamine to other persons in Northern Iowa.
Beier was sentenced to 42 months’ imprisonment and three years of supervised release following the imprisonment. He remains in the custody of the United States Marshal until he can be transported to a federal prison.
The case was investigated by the Clear Lake Police Department and was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Kevin C. Fletcher and Kraig R. Hamit.
