Katja Bails, Meth Conspiracy, Iowa 2016
A woman who conspired to distribute methamphetamine has been sentenced to five years in federal prison, according to a federal court ruling in Sioux City, Iowa.
Katja Bails, 36, from Kiron, Iowa, received the prison term after a guilty plea to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine on July 17, 2015.
Bails admitted that from about 2012 and continuing through November 2014, she was involved in a conspiracy that distributed more than 5,000 grams of actual (pure) methamphetamine.
She traveled periodically from the Denison, Iowa, area to Omaha, Nebraska, to obtain large quantities of methamphetamine, which she then distributed in the Denison and Ida Grove, Iowa areas.
Bails was sentenced in Sioux City by United States District Court Judge Mark W. Bennett. She was sentenced to 60 months’ imprisonment, with a special assessment of $100 imposed. She must also serve a five-year term of supervised release after the prison term.
Bails is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until she can be transported to a federal prison.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Shawn S. Wehde and investigated by the Iowa Division of Narcotics Enforcement, Ida County Sheriff’s Office, Denison Police Department, and Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.
