A man from Le Mars, Iowa has been taken into custody after pleading guilty to methamphetamine and firearm charges in a federal court.
Timothy Mullally, 48, of Le Mars, Iowa, pled guilty on May 16, 2024, in federal court in Sioux City to one count of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and one count of prohibited person in possession of firearms.

During the investigation, law enforcement and the United States Postal Inspection Service intercepted a three-pound package of methamphetamine coming from California to Mullally’s house in September 2022.

The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Shawn S. Wehde and was investigated by the Tri-State Drug Task Force, a multi-agency task force based in Sioux City, Iowa. Mullally is currently being held in custody pending sentencing.
Sentencing for Mullally will be set after a presentence report is prepared by the United States District Court Chief Judge Leonard T. Strand. On the drug conviction, Mullally also faces a possible $10,000,000 fine and at least five years of supervised release following any imprisonment.
