United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Mission, South Dakota, woman convicted of Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled Substance, Methamphetamine, was sentenced on Oct. 15, 2018, by U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange.
Wiyaka Rochelle Guerue, a/k/a Feather Rochelle Guerue, age 32, was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison, followed by 4 years of supervised release, a $1,000 fine, forfeiture of $227 in U.S. currency, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.
Guerue was indicted by a federal grand jury on Oct. 17, 2017. She pled guilty on July 24, 2018.
Between Jan. 1, 2016, and Oct. 17, 2017, Guerue knowingly and intentionally conspired with others to distribute methamphetamine in the District of South Dakota.
Guerue received distributable quantities of methamphetamine and distributed the methamphetamine in South Dakota. The individuals who provided methamphetamine knew that she intended to engage in further distribution. Additionally, Guerue admitted she allowed several other individuals to distribute large quantities of methamphetamine from her Sunrise Apartment in Rosebud, South Dakota.
This case was investigated by the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services and the Northern Plains Safe Trails Drug Enforcement Task Force. Assistant U.S. Attorney Meghan N. Dilges prosecuted the case.
Guerue was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
