United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Parmelee, South Dakota, woman convicted of Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine was sentenced on February 8, 2021, by Chief Judge Roberto A. Lange, U.S. District Court.
Jeni May Pearl Arcoren, age 33, was sentenced to 120 months in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release, and a special assessment to the Federal Crime Victims Fund in the amount of $100.

Arcoren immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service.
