A Garner, Iowa man has been sentenced to 12 years in federal prison for his role in a methamphetamine distribution conspiracy. Andrew Frazee, 32, received the sentence on September 19, 2025, following his guilty plea earlier this year.
Frazee admitted during court proceedings that he and others conspired to distribute more than a pound of methamphetamine in Hancock County and surrounding areas in November 2024. Law enforcement encountered Frazee on November 19, 2024, when they found his vehicle in a ditch in rural Hancock County. Officers noted signs of impairment and detected the smell of marijuana. A search of the vehicle led to the discovery of approximately 325 grams of methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia including a smoking device and scale, baggies, over $1,200 in cash, and marijuana. Frazee also admitted to recently purchasing large amounts of methamphetamine for distribution.
The sentencing took place in Sioux City before United States District Court Judge Leonard T. Strand. In addition to the prison term of 144 months, Frazee will serve five years of supervised release after completing his sentence. There is no possibility of parole in the federal system.
Frazee remains in custody with the United States Marshal until he is transferred to a federal prison.
