A Tampa, Florida resident has been sentenced to over 5 years in federal prison for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.

Margaret Catherine Lynch, 36, of Bradenton, was sentenced to 5 years and 10 months in federal prison for conspiracy to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine.

It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Charlie D. Connally, and was part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) investigation.
