A north Iowa man has been sentenced to over a decade in prison on a federal drug trafficking charge.
The US Attorney for the Northern District of Iowa says 32-year-old Andrew Frazee of Garner was sentenced on Friday (09.19) after pleading guilty in May to conspiracy to distribute over a pound of methamphetamine. At the plea and sentencing hearings, Frazee admitted that, in November 2024, he and others conspired to distribute meth in and around Hancock County.
Law enforcement observed Frazee and his vehicle in a ditch in rural Hancock County on November 19, 2024, where Frazee exhibited signs of impairment. A search of the vehicle was conducted and deputies found about 325 grams of meth, a smoking device, baggies, over $1200 in cash, a scale, and marijuana.
US District Court Judge Leonard Strand sentenced Frazee to 144 months in prison to be followed by a five-year term of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system.
Frazee is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.
The case was investigated by the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office and the Iowa Division of Narcotics Enforcement.
