JUNE 2022:
A 43 year old woman from Fort Pierre convicted of Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled Substance has received her punishment from a federal US District Court judge.
Lisa Herren, a/k/a Lisa Miller, was sentenced to 26 months in federal prison, followed by four years of supervised release, $1,000 fine, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.
The conviction stemmed from a conspiracy which began in September 2018, in which Herren conspired with others to intentionally distribute methamphetamine in and around Stanley County. It was reasonably foreseeable that over 50 grams of methamphetamine was distributed during the course of the conspiracy.
This case was investigated by the Northern Plains Safe Trails Drug Enforcement Task Force, the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation, the South Dakota Highway Patrol and the Stanley County Sheriff’s Office.
Herren was immediately turned over to the custody of the US Marshals Service.
