Alden Hendrickson, a 57-year-old man from Sioux City, Iowa, has been sentenced to prison for his involvement in a methamphetamine distribution ring and possessing firearms illegally.
According to court records, Hendrickson pled guilty on October 11, 2022, to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and possession of firearms by a prohibited person.
Evidence presented at the plea and sentencing hearings showed that from January 2021 through March 23, 2022, Hendrickson and others conspired to distribute over 6 pounds of methamphetamine in the Sioux City, Iowa area.
On March 23, 2022, law enforcement conducted a controlled buy operation, purchasing 42.5 grams of pure methamphetamine from Hendrickson.
Additionally, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Hendrickson’s residence in Sioux City and seized 394.8 grams of pure methamphetamine, marijuana, $5,975, and five guns.
Hendrickson admitted to distributing methamphetamine and being a user of the substance, which prohibits him from possessing firearms or ammunition.
Sentencing was held before United States District Court Chief Judge Leonard T. Strand, who sentenced Hendrickson to 56 months’ imprisonment, followed by a 3-year term of supervised release.
Hendrickson remains in the custody of the United States Marshal until he can be transported to a federal prison.
