BOISE, Idaho – A Local Woman's Descent into Meth Trafficking

Bobbi Eileen Woolsey, a 36-year-old Boise woman, was sentenced to 84 months in federal prison for conspiring to distribute methamphetamine, announced U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson.

On December 2, 2013, Woolsey pleaded guilty to the charge in United States District Court.

According to information presented in court, Woolsey admitted to conspiring with co-defendants to distribute methamphetamine. Her prior felony convictions for possession of methamphetamine and accessory to a felony were also revealed. Woolsey was on probation for those crimes at the time she committed the drug trafficking offenses in this case.

Woolsey's co-defendants, Jeramie Ethan Mahler of Star, Idaho, and Carlos Eberardo Tovar of Nampa, Idaho, pleaded guilty yesterday to related drug trafficking charges. Mahler also pleaded guilty to discharging a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.

A federal grand jury indicted Woolsey, Mahler, Tovar, and eight other defendants on July 9, 2013. The indictment alleges that the defendants conspired together to distribute methamphetamine, as well as distribution of methamphetamine, distribution of cocaine, and unlawful possession of a firearm.

The case was investigated by the Treasure Valley Metro Violent Crimes Task Force, a collaboration of federal, state, and local agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Ada County Sheriff's Office.

The case is being prosecuted by the Special Assistant U.S. Attorney hired by the Treasure Valley Partnership and the State of Idaho to address gang crimes. Since 2007, over 255 defendants have been prosecuted in Federal Court through the Gang SAUSA program.

Woolsey will also serve five years of supervised release after her prison term.
