BREAKING: A Sioux City woman has been sentenced to federal prison for her role in a methamphetamine conspiracy that distributed over 7 pounds of the deadly drug.
Brandy Binneboese, 44, was sentenced to 38 months in prison on October 25, 2024, after pleading guilty on June 7, 2024, in federal court in Sioux City to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.
According to evidence presented at the plea and sentencing hearings, Binneboese was part of a conspiracy that distributed methamphetamine from January 2021 through June 2023. On three occasions in 2023, she participated in the distribution of ¼ and ½ pounds of methamphetamine, which was observed by law enforcement using an individual cooperating with law enforcement.
On June 1, 2023, Binneboese was stopped by law enforcement just after one of the meth transactions and found with ½ ounce of methamphetamine and $2,500 in pre-serialized buy money that had been used for the drug purchase moments earlier.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Shawn S. Wehde and was investigated by the Tri-State Drug Task Force based in Sioux City, Iowa. The task force consists of law enforcement personnel from several agencies, including the Drug Enforcement Administration, Sioux City Police Department, and Homeland Security Investigations.
Binneboese remains in custody of the United States Marshal until she can be transported to a federal prison to serve her 38-month sentence, followed by three years of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system.
