Grimy Times has learned that Rebecca Ann Rose, a 36-year-old woman from La Porte City, Iowa, was sentenced to 7 years in federal prison for possessing over 50 grams of methamphetamine.
According to court documents, Rose was stopped by law enforcement officers on December 27, 2022, while driving a vehicle in Tipton, Iowa. During the stop, officers found thousands of dollars, over 50 grams of actual (pure) methamphetamine, and marijuana in her car.
Seven months later, on July 15, 2023, Rose was driving a vehicle in Jones County, Iowa, when law enforcement officers stopped her again. This time, officers found over 20 grams of actual (pure) methamphetamine in the car.
Rose was transported to a local jail, where jail staff found over 50 grams of actual (pure) methamphetamine and a methamphetamine pipe hidden on her person.
Rose pleaded guilty to possessing at least 50 grams of actual (pure) methamphetamine with the intent to distribute it on July 15, 2023. She appeared in court on November 6, 2023, to enter her guilty plea.
Rose was sentenced in Cedar Rapids by United States District Court Judge Leonard T. Strand to 90 months’ imprisonment and must also serve a three-year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system.
Rose is currently being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until she can be transported to a federal prison. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Devra T. Hake and was investigated by the Tipton Police Department, the Cedar County Sheriff’s Office, the Iowa State Patrol, and the Muscatine County Drug Task Force.
