Wendy Jordison, 57, Sentenced to 15 Years for Methamphetamine Distribution
A disturbing trend in Iowa’s drug trade has come to a head with the sentencing of a Humboldt woman to 15 years in federal prison for her role in a methamphetamine distribution conspiracy.
Wendy Jordison, a 57-year-old resident of Humboldt, Iowa, and previously Fort Dodge, Iowa, was sentenced on January 9, 2020, in federal court in Sioux City, Iowa. The sentencing came after Jordison pleaded guilty on June 13, 2019, to one count of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
Jordison’s guilty plea was a direct result of her involvement in a conspiracy that distributed at least three pounds of methamphetamine from June 2018 through January 2019. The investigation revealed that Jordison distributed over 111 grams of pure methamphetamine on four separate occasions in December 2018 and January 2019 to individuals cooperating with law enforcement.
In January 2019, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Jordison’s residence and seized over 205 grams of pure methamphetamine along with other indicia of drug trafficking. Jordison’s prior history of serious felony drug offenses in Iowa, including a 2000 conviction for which she served state prison time until at least April 2006, also played a significant role in her sentencing.
Assistant United States Attorney Shawn S. Wehde prosecuted the case, which was investigated by the Iowa Division of Narcotics Enforcement, Webster County Sheriff’s Office, Fort Dodge Police Department, Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office, Humboldt Police Department, and Iowa Division of Criminalistics Investigation.
Jordison remains in custody of the United States Marshal until she can be transported to a federal prison. The court imposed a 15-year term of imprisonment and a 10-year term of supervised release following her imprisonment. Jordison’s case highlights the ongoing struggle against methamphetamine trafficking in Iowa and the need for continued efforts to combat this scourge.
