Evelyn J. Dame, Meth Conspiracy, Missouri 2024

A Lebanon woman has been sentenced to 15 years in federal prison for her role in a meth conspiracy.

Evelyn J. Dame, 50, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge M. Douglas Harpool to 15 years and eight months in federal prison without parole.

The crime occurred in Christian and Greene counties from Dec. 16, 2020, to June 2, 2022.

According to court documents, Dame threw a duffel bag out of a vehicle window during a traffic stop on May 6, 2021. The bag contained two one-pound bags of methamphetamine, a small black zipper case with five baggies of methamphetamine, and a bank bag with $4,220.

The cash was from her distribution of methamphetamine. The driver and owner of the vehicle, Kevin Bruce Rogers, was identified as the victim of an unsolved homicide.

Dame has a prior federal felony conviction for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, for which she was sentenced to three years in prison in July 2013. Her term of supervised release was revoked in October 2018 after she was arrested for possessing a controlled substance; she was sentenced to serve another five months in federal prison.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jessica R. Eatmon. It was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Christian County, Mo., Sheriff’s Department, the Springfield, Mo., Police Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Greene County, Mo., Sheriff’s Department.
