A 46-year-old man from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has been sentenced to 20 years and 7 months in federal prison for his role in a methamphetamine trafficking operation.
Jamie Allen Medulan, 46, was sentenced on April 15, 2021, to 251 months’ imprisonment after pleading guilty to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and possessing a firearm during and in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.
According to court records, on July 13, 2020, officers searched a hotel room being used by Medulan and located more than five kilograms of ‘ice’ methamphetamine, two firearms, $31,448 in cash, and other evidence of drug trafficking.
Medulan later admitted receiving more than 50 pounds of methamphetamine from his source over the course of months. His criminal history includes convictions in 31 separate cases, including convictions related to theft, assault, burglary, and manufacturing of methamphetamine.
Medulan was sentenced in Cedar Rapids by United States District Court Judge C.J. Williams. He must also serve a five-year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system.
Medulan is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison. The case was brought as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a program aimed at reducing violent crime in communities.
The case is also part of Project Guardian, a Department of Justice initiative to reduce gun violence and enforce federal firearms laws.
