A 43-year-old Ottumwa man, Clinton Andrew Wynn, has been sentenced to 332 months in prison for his involvement in a massive methamphetamine trafficking ring in Southeastern Iowa.
According to court documents, Wynn was found in possession of 33 pounds of ice methamphetamine, a gun, and $11,541 cash during a traffic stop in Fairfield on October 3, 2020.
Wynn, who had a long history of prior convictions, including assault, domestic abuse assault, assault while displaying a dangerous weapon, burglary, harassment, arson, violations of no contact orders, and OWI, admitted to importing and distributing ice methamphetamine in the region.
At the time of his arrest, Wynn was under criminal justice supervision for two felony drug offenses, a harassment first-degree charge, and a charge for assault while displaying a dangerous weapon.
The investigation, which involved multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Iowa Division of Narcotics Enforcement, revealed that Wynn had struck multiple police vehicles during a subsequent arrest in Ottumwa.
The case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office, in conjunction with the Jefferson County Attorney’s Office, as part of the Project Safe Neighborhood initiative, a program aimed at reducing violent crime and making communities safer.
Acting United States Attorney Richard D. Westphal announced the sentencing, praising the collaborative efforts of law enforcement agencies in bringing Wynn to justice.
Wynn’s lengthy sentence serves as a stark reminder of the severe consequences of engaging in methamphetamine trafficking and other violent crimes in our communities.
