Joplin Woman Sentenced for Meth Conspiracy
A Joplin woman is facing the consequences of her crimes after being sentenced to 10 years in federal prison without parole for her role in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.
Jennifer M. Conant, 38, of Joplin, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Roseann Ketchmark to 10 years in federal prison for her part in the methamphetamine conspiracy.
The investigation began in May 2017 when law enforcement officers tracked a suspicious package shipped via UPS from Arizona. The package, which contained approximately one pound of methamphetamine, was tracked to a residence in Seneca, Mo.
On May 7, 2017, a federal agent conducted a controlled delivery of the package to its destination, and shortly after, officers executed a search warrant and located the package in a bedroom of the residence.
An occupant of the residence told investigators that Conant had shipped the package to his address and had inquired about it just prior to law enforcement executing the search warrant. He then contacted Conant, who arrived at the residence approximately 45 minutes later to pick up the package and was arrested.
This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Abram McGull II, and it was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Newton County, Mo., Sheriff’s Department, and the Ozark Drug Enforcement Team.
Conant pleaded guilty to participating in the conspiracy on March 28, 2018, and was subsequently sentenced to 10 years in federal prison without parole in 2018.
