Twelve of 14 people found guilty in a major drug trafficking ring in Iowa have now been sentenced to prison. Radio Iowa’s Dar Danielson reports that the U-S Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa says the drug trafficking organization was operated by Robert William Lampe and Mason Leroy Snyder out of various residences in the Des Moines area.
The two obtained marijuana from the Minneapolis area and then would distribute it in Des Moines. Police executed search warrants in 2018 and seized multiple firearms, more than 140-thousand dollars in drug proceeds, multiple vehicles and two residences. It’s estimated they distributed around 220 pounds of marijuana in Iowa and more than a pound of cocaine.
They faced various drug charges and were sentenced from 15 months to more than 14 years. The final two will be sentenced in July.
