United States Attorney Alison J. Ramsdell announced that a Fort Pierre, South Dakota, woman convicted of Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled Substance was sentenced on June 27, 2022, by Chief Judge Roberto A. Lange, U.S. District Court.

Lisa Herren, a/k/a Lisa Miller, age 43, was sentenced to 26 months in federal prison, followed by four years of supervised release, $1,000 fine, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.

Herren was indicted by a federal grand jury on June 8, 2021.  She pled guilty on January 27, 2022.

The conviction stemmed from a conspiracy which began in September 2018, in which Herren conspired with others to knowingly and intentionally distribute methamphetamine in and around Stanley County, South Dakota.  It was reasonably foreseeable that over 50 grams of methamphetamine was distributed during the course of the conspiracy.   

This case was investigated by the Northern Plains Safe Trails Drug Enforcement Task Force, the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation, the South Dakota Highway Patrol, and the Stanley County Sheriff’s Office.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Meghan Dilges prosecuted the case.

Herren was immediately turned over to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
