A woman who conspired to distribute methamphetamine was sentenced today to more than 12 years in federal prison.
Sally Marie Green, age 52, from Fort Dodge, Iowa, received the prison term after a March 11, 2026, guilty plea to one count of conspiracy to distribute over 500 grams of methamphetamine.
At the plea hearing, Green admitted that from January 2024 through April 2025, she was involved in the distribution of approximately 30 pounds of methamphetamine. In April 2025, a cooperating individual told law enforcement officers that Green was a pound-level distributor of methamphetamine in the Fort Dodge area. On April 1, 2025, law enforcement officers purchased approximately a quarter pound of methamphetamine from Green. That same day, officers searched her house and found an unloaded .45 ACP pistol, ammunition, $3,000 cash, drug distribution items, and approximately 585 grams of methamphetamine.
Green was sentenced in Sioux City by United States District Court Judge Leonard T. Strand. Green was sentenced to 151 months’ imprisonment. She must also serve a five-year term of supervised release after the prison term. There is no parole in the federal system. Green is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until she can be transported to a federal prison.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Patrick T. Greenwood and investigated by the Webster County Sheriff’s Office.
