U-S Attorney Nicholas Klinefelt says a western Iowa woman was sentenced Friday to 10-years in prison on a charge of conspiracy to deliver methamphetamine in Iowa. 35-year old Terra Jo Wilson, of Council Bluffs, was also ordered by Judge John A. Jarvey, to serve a seven year term of supervised release following incarceration.

Dilley was sentenced by Judge Jarvey to nearly 16 and a-half years in prison, on August 11th. The Judge also ordered Dilley to serve 10-years  in prison for being a Felon in Possession of a Firearm. The terms will be served concurrently. In addition, Dilley will have to serve a five-year term of supervised release following his incarceration.

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