Tiffany Scott Spevak, 39, Sentenced to 20 Years in Federal Prison for Methamphetamine Trafficking

SALT LAKE CITY — A 39-year-old woman from Salt Lake City has been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for her role in a methamphetamine trafficking ring that distributed over 99 pounds of the drug in Utah, Idaho, and other locations.

Tiffany Scott Spevak pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and conspiracy to commit money laundering. According to court documents, Spevak conspired with others to procure methamphetamine in Arizona and California and distribute it to customers in Utah, Idaho, and other locations from January 2014 to October 2016.

Spevak admitted that over 99 pounds of methamphetamine were distributed during the conspiracy period. Investigators estimated that the group distributed between 250-500 pounds of the drug.

Spevak also admitted that those involved in the conspiracy engaged in financial transactions, knowing that the property involved represented proceeds of unlawful activity - the distribution of methamphetamine. Agents found $37,000 in cash during a search of her residence, and a narcotics K-9 alerted on items in the home.

Cases are pending for four other defendants in the case, including Spevak's father, Stephen Scott Spevak, who is charged with conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and three counts of money laundering. He is currently on pretrial release.

In a related case, Ryan Dalley of Pocatello, Idaho, who worked with Spevak to get methamphetamine in Los Angeles and Phoenix for distribution in Idaho and Montana, was sentenced to 17 years in federal prison in September.

Spevak's sentence is the result of a joint investigation by the DEA, IRS-Criminal Investigation, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Investigations, and the Idaho State Police.
