A 34-year-old Fort Dodge man has been sentenced to over 21 years in federal prison for his role in a methamphetamine trafficking operation.
Terrance Foy, a Fort Dodge resident, was sentenced on August 19, 2021, to 262 months’ imprisonment for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and possession of a firearm during and in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.
According to court documents, Foy admitted to conspiring to distribute methamphetamine between 2017 and 2019. On January 5, 2019, he placed a Ruger LC9 firearm on or near an acquaintance’s dresser along with 26.73 grams of actual pure methamphetamine.
Foy has an extensive criminal history, including four convictions for domestic abuse, four convictions for criminal mischief, two convictions for assault causing bodily injury, two theft convictions, and convictions for possession with intent to deliver controlled substances, possession of methamphetamine, assault with a dangerous weapon, assault, violation of a no contact order, attempted burglary, interference with official acts, and interference with official acts causing bodily injury.
On March 19, 2021, Foy entered a guilty plea to the charges. He was sentenced by United States District Court Chief Judge Leonard T. Strand in Sioux City.
Foy must also serve a 4-year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system. He is currently being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Mikala Purdy-Steenholdt, Shawn Wehde, and Ron Timmons. The case was investigated by the Fort Dodge Police Department.
