The U-S Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa reports a woman from Nebraska was sentenced last week to slightly more than six years in prison for the distribution of methamphetamine. 54-year old Kimberly Ann Jacobsen, of Omaha, received her sentence July 16th in Council Bluffs U-S District Court.

Jacobsen was also ordered to serve a four-year period of supervised released upon completion of her 74 month sentence, and to pay a $100 special assessment to the Crime Victims’ Fund. There is no parole in the federal system.

Authorities say in Oct. 2019, Jacobsen sold 97 grams of meth during two separate undercover law enforcement operations. She plead guilty to the offense March 6, 2020. It was Jacobsen’s second federal felony methamphetamine conviction.

The case against her was investigated by the Council Bluffs Police Dept., the Southwest Iowa Narcotics Task Force, and the D.E. A.  It was prosecuted by the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.
