A federal judge has determined the punishment for a Rapid City woman convicted of Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled Substance.
Megan Lawrence, age 42, was sentenced to 87 months in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release, and a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
Lawrence was involved in a conspiracy responsible for distributing between 1.5 and 5 kilograms of methamphetamine in the Rapid City area. Methamphetamine was brought to South Dakota from California by Lawrence’s co-conspirators, Larre Hayes and Shelby Tripp Lien. Lawrence helped further distribute the methamphetamine upon its arrival. Lawrence also received packages in the mail containing methamphetamine, coordinated by Hayes.
