U.S. DISTRICT COURT, BENTON—A woman who facilitated the manufacturing and distribution of meth in and around the Saline County area has been sentenced to 15 years in the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Dama Miller, 34, of Eldorado, who just couldn’t stay out of trouble over the course of the past couple of years in Saline and surrounding counties, was sentenced yesterday, January 26, to 180 months (15 years—that’s right, FIFTEEN YEARS) in BOP, this following her guilty plea entered on October 6, 2011, on Possession of Pseudoephedrine with Intent to Manufacture Meth and Conspiracy to Manufacture Meth charges that came earlier in the year.
Miller was accused of obtaining PE from multiple retailers in the area, including Saline and Jefferson counties in Illinois as well as other locations including in Kentucky (which is when the feds stepped in), and providing them to meth makers in exchange for some of the meth being made.
The feds have held her in custody since September 26, 2011, since her bond was revoked after she attempted to threaten and intimidate a witness against her; this also added some years to her sentence, as it was “enhanced” by our friends at the federal courthouse, James M. Cutchin being among them, as he was the lead prosecutor in the case. Cutchin doesn’t play; he was the one who prosecuted Raymond Martin.
What we DON’T know in the case is who it was who were the big meth cooks that she was providing the PE to, and who it was that she was intimidating. If anyone knows that, please feel free to comment.
