A Rapid City woman has been sentenced to over 22 years in federal prison for her involvement in a methamphetamine trafficking conspiracy. U.S. District Judge Karen E. Schreier delivered the sentence to Alisa See, aged 39, who was convicted of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance.
The sentencing includes 22 and a half years in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release. Additionally, See is required to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund.
See was indicted by a federal grand jury in July 2023 and entered a guilty plea on October 25, 2024. Her criminal activities spanned from 2022 to 2023 when she participated in distributing methamphetamine across South Dakota. She collaborated with another individual to transport the drug from California into western South Dakota for further distribution.
"See was personally involved in the distribution of at least 30 pounds of methamphetamine in western South Dakota," stated U.S. Attorney Alison J. Ramsdell. "We are grateful to our law enforcement partners at UNET for investigating and exposing this drug conspiracy, which permitted the U.S. Attorney’s Office to seek a federal conviction and impactful sentence."
The investigation was conducted by the Unified Narcotics Enforcement Team (UNET), which includes members from several law enforcement agencies such as the Pennington County Sheriff’s Office, Rapid City Police Department, South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation, South Dakota Highway Patrol, and the South Dakota National Guard. Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Hodges prosecuted the case.
Following her sentencing, See was taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals Service.
