A Spencer man faces the possibility of life in prison after recently pleaded guilty in Sioux City federal court for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.
55-year-old Armando Silva Reyes was convicted of one count of conspiracy to distribute meth, and two counts of possession with intent to distribute meth.
Silva Reyes admitted that between January of 2020 and February of 2021, he and others were involved in a conspiracy to distribute pound-levels of methamphetamine in Northern Iowa. On at least two separate occasions, Silva Reyes distributed more than a quarter pound of pure meth to individuals with law enforcement.
Sentencing will be set after a pre-sentence report is prepared. Silva Reyes remains in the custody of the United States Marshal. On each count, Silva Reyes faces between ten years and life imprisonment.
