United States Attorney Ron Parsons announced that a Rapid
City, South Dakota, woman convicted of Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled
Substance was sentenced by Jeffrey L. Viken, U.S. District Judge.
Sara Bailey, a/k/a Sara Johnson, age 41, was sentenced on
May 1, 2020, to 20 years in federal prison, followed by 5 years of supervised
release, and was ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the Federal Crime
Victims Fund.
The conviction stemmed from Bailey conspiring with others to
distribute nearly 2000 grams of heroin between May and August 2018 at Rapid
City. Bailey’s distribution of heroin
included injecting and providing heroin to a 15-year-old during the same time
period.
This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement
Administration and the Unified Narcotics Enforcement Team (UNET), which is
comprised of law enforcement from the Pennington County Sheriff’s Office, Rapid
City Police Department, South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation, and
the South Dakota National Guard.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Benjamin Patterson prosecuted the case.
Bailey was immediately remanded to the custody of the U.S.
Marshals Service.
