A Webster City woman who conspired to distribute methamphetamine was sentenced to more than 6 years in federal prison.

On four occasions in September and October 2014, Ramirez-Trujillo distributed methamphetamine to individuals cooperating with law enforcement.
At the guilty plea, Ramirez-Trujillo admitted that from about June to December 2014 she was involved in a conspiracy that distributed more than 4,000 grams of a mixture containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine, which contained 1,500 grams or more of pure meth.
Ramirez-Trujillo also admitted to aiding and abetting co-conspirator Jose Alvarez distribute methamphetamine.
