ANNA STREVER SENTENCED IN U.S. DISTRICT COURT
Bill Mercer, United States Attorney for the District of Montana, announced today that during a federal court session in Billings, on May 7, 2008, before Chief U.S. District Judge Richard F. Cebull, ANNA STREVER, a resident of Billings, appeared for sentencing. STREVER was sentenced to a term of:
- Prison: 120 months
- Special Assessment: $100
- Supervised Release: 5 years
STREVER was sentenced in connection with her guilty plea to conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute methamphetamine.
At the sentencing proceeding, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
From May of 2005 to May of 2006, STREVER was involved in a conspiracy with several other individuals to distribute over 500 grams of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine, a Schedule II controlled substance, in the Billings area.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that STREVER will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, STREVER does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
Assistant U.S. Attorney James E. Seykora prosecuted the case for the United States.
The investigation was a cooperative effort between the Drug Enforcement Administration and the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Task Force.
