Federal Prosecution for Two Suspects

”Put the Brakes” on Meth, a tri-state drug enforcement project, led to the arrest and charging of two people for possession of pseudoephedrine with intent to manufacture Meth.  The project’s message is simple: People crossing state lines to purchase products to make Meth will face federal prosecution.

One suspect in the August 20th arrest is a 21-year old woman from North Sioux City, South Dakota.  The other is a 23-year old man from Sioux City, Iowa. 
Officers found six boxes of pseudoephedrine, Coleman fuel, nine boxes of matches, three "Heet" containers, acetone and hydrogen peroxide in the suspects’ possession. They're all items that are instrumental in making Meth.  A number of South Sioux City, Nebraska, businesses were a key part to the investigation. They alerted authorities to suspicious purchases.
In court, the woman said she had been buying the pseudoephedrine for the other suspect in exchange for free Meth.  The man admitted to authorities that he's been cooking Meth since he was 13 or 14 years old. He's been buying pseudoephedrine in Sioux City for the last year.  If they are found guilty, each could face a maximum of five years behind bars and a $10,000 fine.
