(Sioux City, IA) -- A Sioux City man who sold large quantities of methamphetamine and cocaine around Sioux City has been sentenced in federal court in Sioux City to more than 20-years in prison. Forty-one-year-old Isidro Jaramillo pleaded guilty in November of 2021, guilty plea to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
Evidence showed that beginning in 2019 Jaramillo started selling approximately 40 pounds of meth per month in the Siouxland area. By December 2019, he stored over two pounds of cocaine, 68 pounds of marijuana, and 28 pounds of methamphetamine in a co-conspirator’s basement and coordinated the sale of the drugs, which originated from Mexico, over the course of a few months. In March of 2021, Jaramillo sold 6 pounds of methamphetamine to an undercover law enforcement officer for $10,000. During a subsequent search of Jaramillo’s residence, agents located approximately 3 pounds of methamphetamine and the $10,000 in cash used to purchase the 6 pounds of methamphetamine.
Jaramillo was previously convicted in the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.
District Court Chief Judge Leonard T. Strand also ordered Jaramillo to serve 10-years of supervised release after his prison term.
Jaramillo is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison.
