Nampa Man Faces Life in Prison for Methamphetamine Distribution

BOISE, Idaho – A Nampa man has pleaded guilty to distribution of methamphetamine, a crime that could land him in prison for the rest of his life.

According to court records, 54-year-old Edward Lee Noll sold another person 63.4 grams of methamphetamine on October 19, 2020, and 95.7 grams of methamphetamine on October 29, 2020.

Noll is scheduled to be sentenced on February 14, 2022, and faces a statutory mandatory minimum sentence of at least ten years and a maximum sentence of life in federal prison, a $10 million fine, and at least five years of supervised release.

A federal district court judge will determine Noll’s sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

Acting U.S. Attorney Gonzalez applauded the efforts of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Ada County Sheriff’s Office, and the City County Narcotics Unit, which consisted of officers from the Caldwell Police Department and the Canyon County Sheriff’s Office, for their work in leading to the charges.

The case was prosecuted by the Special Assistant United States Attorney hired by the Ada County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office with funds provided by the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) program.

HIDTA is part of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) created by Congress with the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988. It provides assistance to federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies operating in areas determined to be critical drug-trafficking regions of the United States.

Idaho is part of the Oregon-Idaho HIDTA, a collaboration of local, multi-jurisdictional law enforcement drug task forces, and prosecuting agencies dedicated to addressing regional drug trafficking organizations that operate in Ada, Canyon, Bannock, Kootenai, and Malheur Counties.

Noll’s guilty plea is a significant blow to methamphetamine trafficking in the region and a testament to the hard work of law enforcement agencies.

As the Grimy Times continues to follow this case, we will provide updates on Noll’s sentencing and any further developments.
