McLaughlin Woman Sentenced for Meth Distribution
In a shocking turn of events, a McLaughlin woman has been sentenced to 18 months in custody for her role in distributing a controlled substance. Adjoni Jones, a/k/a Adjoni Archambault, age 33, was handed down the sentence by U.S. District Judge Charles B. Kornmann on April 28, 2014.
Jones was indicted for Distribution of a Controlled Substance to a Person under the Age of 21, Distribution of a Controlled Substance, and Child Abuse and Neglect by a federal grand jury on June 12, 2013. She pled guilty to Distribution of a Controlled Substance on December 2, 2013.
The conviction arose from incidents that occurred between July 1, 2009, and July 30, 2012, when Jones distributed and possessed with intent to distribute methylphenidate, a Schedule II controlled substance, at McLaughlin.
This case was investigated by the Northern Plains Safe Trails Drug Enforcement Task Force. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Kathryn Rich and Jay Miller prosecuted the case.
Jones was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service to begin serving her sentence. In addition to her 18-month sentence, Jones was also ordered to serve 5 years of supervised release and pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
The sentencing of Jones serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of methamphetamine and the devastating impact it has on our communities. As a society, we must continue to work together to prevent the distribution and use of this deadly substance.
U.S. Attorney Brendan V. Johnson announced the sentencing, stating that this case highlights the commitment of his office to hold individuals accountable for their actions and to keep our communities safe.
