(Radio Iowa) – A Fort Dodge woman has been sentenced to federal prison for a second time for selling meth. Thirty-five-year-old Amanda Johnson — formerly known as Amanda Adams — was convicted in 2020 of possessing and distributing meth. According to a news release from the U-S Attorney’s Office, she was on parole in 2023 when she helped distribute over 15-hundred grams of meth in the Fort Dodge area. In late 2023, she sold meth to undercover agent in Waterloo. This summer, she pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute meth and has been sentenced to 12 years in prison.
