A 49-year-old Red Oak woman has copped to a major methamphetamine charge, marking a significant blow to the Woodbury and Monona County areas’ illicit drug trade.
Ann Sulsberger, 49, from Red Oak, Iowa, pled guilty April 18, 2024, in federal court in Sioux City to one count of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.
The evidence presented during the plea hearing revealed that between April 2023 and May 2023, Sulsberger and others conspired to distribute over a pound of methamphetamine in the affected areas.
Sulsberger now faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years’ imprisonment and a possible maximum sentence of life imprisonment, alongside a $10,000,000 fine and at least five years of supervised release following any imprisonment.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Patrick T. Greenwood and was investigated by a multi-agency task force, consisting of law enforcement personnel from the Bureau of Indian Affairs, DEA Laboratory, Tri-State Drug Task Force, and several other local and national agencies.
The sentencing hearing will be scheduled after a presentence report is prepared. Sulsberger currently remains in custody of the United States Marshal pending sentencing.
