A woman from Nebraska who was arrested along with two other individuals Feb. 10th in Fremont County, was sentenced this week to 10-years in prison for a felony charge of Conspiracy to Deliver Methamphetamine. The Fremont County Attorney’s Office says the sentence for 32-year old Stacey Dawn Budenholzer, of Omaha, was handed down on Monday. The woman will not be eligible for parole until she has served at least one-third of her sentence under Iowa’s mandatory minimum sentencing law for methamphetamine distributors.
