A Lebanon woman was sentenced in federal court Monday for her role in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.
Evelyn J. Dame, 50, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge M. Douglas Harpool to 15 years and eight months in federal prison without parole.
On April 15, 2024, Dame pleaded guilty to participating in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine in Christian and Greene counties from Dec. 16, 2020, to June 2, 2022.
Law enforcement officers in Springfield conducted a traffic stop of a vehicle in which Dame was a passenger on May 6, 2021. Dame admitted that before the vehicle stopped, she threw a duffel bag out of the car window that contained two one-pound bags of methamphetamine, a small black zipper case that contained five baggies of methamphetamine, and a bank bag that contained $4,220. Dame also admitted the cash was proceeds from her distribution of methamphetamine.
