Methamphetamine distributor Kathleen Rojas has been sentenced to 72 months in prison and three years supervised release for her role in distributing a large amount of methamphetamine in Middle Georgia.

Kathleen Rojas, 37, of Fayetteville, Georgia, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Marc Treadwell on Wednesday, February 5, 2020, after she pleaded guilty on November 8, 2019, to one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. The federal system has no parole.

Rojas was arrested during an operation conducted by the Butts County Sheriff’s Office on August 10, 2018, after agents were tipped off by a Confidential Informant that she would be involved in the sale of methamphetamine.

Additionally, an additional 635 grams of 99% pure ‘ice’ methamphetamine was discovered in her nearby Henry County motel room. The total amount of ‘ice’ methamphetamine recovered was 745.6 grams.

‘To all criminals involved in the meth trade: Don’t use meth, don’t sell meth and don’t transport meth through the Middle District of Georgia. We will prosecute offenders engaged in pushing this deadly, illegal narcotic in our communities,’ said U.S. Attorney Charlie Peeler.

The case was investigated by the Butts County Sheriff’s Office, the Flint River Drug Task Force, and the DEA. Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven Outzs prosecuted the case for the Government.
