(Sioux City)– A northwest Iowa woman has pled guilty to federal drug charges. The U.S. Attorney’s Office says 50-year-old Christina Gianopoulos-Rohrer of Cherokee pled guilty Wednesday to conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
At a plea hearing, Gianopoulos-Rohrer admitted that on December 6, 2021, law enforcement in Woodbury county pulled over a vehicle in which she was a passenger. About a pound of meth was seized that officials say was intended for distribution by Gianopoulos and others.
Prosecutors say she also admitted being involved in the distribution of at least 3 kilogram of methamphetamine from December 2019 through May 2022, and that the drug came from sources in California and Nevada. They say it was then brought back to the Cherokee area for distribution.
Sentencing will be held at a later date.
