A 32-year-old Mobridge woman, Amber Long Chase, was sentenced to 10 years and 9 months in custody for her role in a methamphetamine conspiracy in South Dakota.
On January 4, 2013, U.S. District Judge Charles B. Kornmann handed down the sentence to Long Chase, who was also ordered to serve 6 years of supervised release and pay a $100 special assessment.
The conviction stems from Long Chase’s involvement in a conspiracy to distribute and possess a mixture or substance containing methamphetamine, a Schedule II controlled substance, in 2011.
Long Chase was indicted by a federal grand jury in February 2012 and later pled guilty to one count of a superseding information in September 2012.
This case was investigated by the Northern Plains Safe Trails Drug Enforcement Task Force and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Miller.
Long Chase was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshal following her sentencing.
The case serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to combat methamphetamine trafficking in South Dakota and the harsh penalties that await those found guilty of such crimes.
