(Sioux City, IA) — Federal prosecutors say a man from northwest Iowa and a man from southeast Iowa will spend two decades in prison on drug charges.
Thirty-one-year-old Christian Javier Ramirez of Storm Lake pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute meth and was sentenced to 20 years. The U-S Attorney’s Office says Ramirez was busted after the Colorado State Patrol intercepted a shipment of seven pounds of meth that was headed to Storm Lake. Fifty-year-old Gerald Victor Terry was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison following a guilty plea to distributing meth in Burlington.
In late 2018, the Burlington Hawkeye reported authorities equipped an informant with a recording device for a drug buy at Terry’s home and police said they found meth, cocaine, a digital scale and cash.
