Sally Marie Green, a 52-year-old woman from Fort Dodge, Iowa, has been sentenced to over 12 years in federal prison for her role in a massive methamphetamine trafficking operation. From January 2024 to April 2025, Green conspired to distribute approximately 30 pounds of methamphetamine in the Fort Dodge area. The investigation, led by the Webster County Sheriff’s Office, uncovered a significant amount of evidence, including a quarter pound of methamphetamine purchased from Green, an unloaded .45 ACP pistol, ammunition, $3,000 cash, and drug distribution items.
Green pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute over 500 grams of methamphetamine on March 11, 2026. Her sentencing, handed down by United States District Court Judge Leonard T. Strand, includes 151 months’ imprisonment and a five-year term of supervised release. With no parole in the federal system, Green will serve her time in full.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Patrick T. Greenwood, who worked closely with the Webster County Sheriff’s Office to bring Green to justice. The investigation and subsequent conviction demonstrate the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to combat methamphetamine trafficking in Iowa and beyond.
Green is currently being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until she can be transported to a federal prison to begin serving her sentence. The case serves as a reminder of the severe consequences of involvement in methamphetamine trafficking and the importance of cooperation between law enforcement agencies in combating this serious crime.
