A woman from Grand Island was sentenced to prison for distribution of Meth.
39 year old Erika Vargas of grand island was sentenced yesterday to ten years in federal prison for distribution of meth. Following the ten years, Vargas will also serve eight years of supervised release.
In May of 2019 Vargas was contacted by an informant working with law enforcement to make a purchase of Methamphetamine. Vargas spoke to her supplier after about the purchase.
In September of that same year the informant contacted Vargas once again to purchase, and Vargas agreed to sell a half ounce of meth. Once the informant arrived at the location the transaction was going to take place, Vargas introduced another supplier to the informant, who provided them with the half ounce of meth.
Vargas was convicted previously of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine back in 2004, a ruling which increased her time for this case.
