Lower Brule Woman Sentenced for Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine

United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Lower Brule, South Dakota, woman convicted of Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled Substance was sentenced on September 10, 2019, by U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange.

Teresa Jandreau, age 40, was sentenced to 64 months in federal prison, followed by 4 years of supervised release, a $1,000 fine, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.

Jandreau was indicted by a federal grand jury on September 11, 2018.  She pled guilty on May 28, 2019.

Beginning at a time unknown, but no later than December 1, 2015, through September 11, 2018, Jandreau knowingly and intentionally conspired with others to distribute methamphetamine in the District of South Dakota, in and around the Crow Creek and Lower Brule Sioux Indian Reservations. The conspiracy involved over 500 grams of methamphetamine that was supplied by Frank “Tank” Adams from St. Paul, Minnesota.  Adams was recently found guilty of Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine following a jury trial.  

This case was investigated by the Northern Plains Safe Trails Drug Enforcement Task Force, the Bureau of Indian Affairs Crow Creek and Lower Brule Agencies and the Pierre Police Department.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Meghan N. Dilges prosecuted the case.

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