Sioux City, IA (KICD) — A Pierson man was sentenced in federal court on drug conspiracy charges originating in Cherokee County on Friday.
35 year old Zackary Smith was arrested in April of 2019 when a search of his Cherokee County residence led to the discovery of one and a half pounds of methamphetamine, and Smith was found by law enforcement trying to flush even more drugs down a toilet. During his trial evidence reportedly showed between August of 2018 and his arrest he and others had conspired to distribute over 11 pounds of meth in the area.
Smith pled guilty to Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine on April 8 this year, and was sentenced to 140 months in prison followed by five years of supervised release.
