FD woman gets 10 years for meth, gun convictions

SIOUX CITY — A Fort Dodge woman was sentenced to 10 years in prison in federal court Thursday for conspiring to distribute methamphetamine while possessing firearms.

Traci Guthrie, 41, received the prison term after pleading guilty in November to one count of conspiracy to distribute meth, one count of possession with intent to distribute meth and one count of possession of firearms in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, according to a press release from Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy Duax.

At her plea hearing, she admitted to distributing over 50 grams of meth in the Fort Dodge area from January to April 16, 2019.

Over three occasions, Guthrie and others distributed a total of over 100 grams of pure meth to someone cooperating with law enforcement. A later search of her home and vehicle yielded four guns, meth, drug paraphernalia, scales, a drug ledger and other drug distribution items. Two more guns were seized in a subsequent search.

Following the 10-year sentence, handed down by District Court Chief Judge Leonard T. Strand, Guthrie must serve four years of supervised release.
