(Sioux City)– A Cherokee woman who pleaded guilty in March of last year to a federal meth charge has been sentenced to nearly four years in prison.
50-year-old Christina Gianopoulos-Rohrer pleaded in guilty in March of last year to conspiracy to distribute and possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine.
The case stemmed from a traffic stop December 6th, 2021 in Woodbury county. Authorities say Gianopoulos-Rohrer was a passenger in the vehicle. About a pound of methamphetamine was seized from the vehicle by police. She later admitted to being involved in a conspiracy that distributed at least 6 kilograms of the drug from December 2019 through May, 2022.
Gianopoulos-Rohrer also admitted to being involved in obtaining four pounds of methamphetamine from sources in California and Nevada, and along with others, brought it back to Cherokee for further distribution in northwest Iowa.
She is being held in the custody of a federal marshal pending transport to a federal prison.
