A Carroll man has been sentenced to federal prison for his role in a methamphetamine conspiracy.
Troy Dillavou, 41, from Carroll, Iowa, received the prison term after a guilty plea to one count of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. The sentencing hearing took place on October 16, 2017, in Sioux City, Iowa.
Evidence at sentencing showed that, prior to entering the conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, defendant Dillavou was convicted of felony drug offenses in 2013 and 2014. This resulted in him being sent to state prison for approximately one and a half years. Upon being paroled in January 2016, defendant Dillavou began distributing methamphetamine to a number of customers in quantities ranging from ounces to one-half pound.
During the course of the conspiracy, defendant Dillavou supplied methamphetamine to his 23-year-old daughter and tasked her with picking up multi-pound quantities of methamphetamine from his source.
Dillavou was sentenced to 141 months’ imprisonment, a special assessment of $100 was imposed, and he must also serve a 5-year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system.
Dillavou is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.
The case was prosecuted by Special Assistant United States Attorney Ajay Alexander and investigated by the Tri-State Drug Task Force based in Sioux City, Iowa, that consists of law enforcement personnel from the Drug Enforcement Administration; Sioux City, Iowa, Police Department; Homeland Security Investigations; Woodbury County Sheriff’s Office; South Sioux City, Nebraska, Police Department; Nebraska State Patrol; Iowa National Guard; Iowa Division of Narcotics Enforcement; United States Marshals Service; South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation; and Woodbury County Attorney’s Office.
