The U-S Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa says a Pottawattamie County woman was sentenced last Friday to 10-years in prison for her role in a methamphetamine distribution ring in western Iowa.  51-year old Susan Lea Combs was sentenced for conspiracy to distribute meth. Judge Ronald Longstaff also imposed a five-year period of supervised release on Combs following her incarceration.

Combs’ co-defendant, 52-year old David Dwayne Mendez, from of Polk County, was sentenced to nine years in prison for his role in the Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine, as well as a four year period of supervised release. Combs and Mendez entered guilty pleas to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine on September 6th, 2012. At the time of their respective pleas of guilty, each admitted that they agreed to sell methamphetamine that was obtained from a source in South Omaha, Nebraska, to individuals in Iowa, particularly in the Council Bluffs and Des Moines areas.

The investigation was conducted by the Iowa State Patrol, Iowa Division of Narcotics Enforcement, Southwest Iowa Narcotics Task Force, Mid-Iowa Narcotics Task Force, and the Polk County Attorney’s Office. The case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.

A United States Senior District Court Judge on Friday, sentenced a Pottawattamie County resident to 10-years in prison on methamphetamine-related charges. 50-year old Michael James Vore received the sentenced for possession with intent to distribute meth. Judge Robert Pratt also imposed a period of eight years of supervised release following Vore’s incarceration.

The U-S Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa says in September of 2012, Vore was found guilty by a jury of possession with intent to distribute meth. The evidence at his trial showed that the Iowa State Patrol was conducting an investigation into the possession and transportation of stolen commercial utility trailers in May of 2011. As part of their investigation, members of the Patrol conducted a traffic stop on Vore as he was pulling a suspected stolen trailer behind his pick-up truck. While searching the pick-up truck that Vore was driving, troopers located approximately fifty grams of pure methamphetamine, along with a large stack of United States Currency, a digital scale and notes consistent with the sale of a controlled substance.

The investigation was conducted by the Iowa State Patrol, Iowa Division of Narcotics Enforcement, Southwest Iowa Narcotics Task Force, Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office, and the Pottawattamie County Attorney’s Office. The case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.
