Several suspects have been sentenced after pleading guilty to charges connected to a West River drug ring.
Mark Bond, 59, and Todd Pape, 61, both of Rapid City, face around 25 years in prison. Theresa Goodroad, 41, of Denver, Colorado is sentenced to 17 years.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office District of South Dakota, Goodroad delivered Meth from Colorado to Bond and Pape. They would then distribute the drugs to others to be sold in Rapid City and on the Pine Ridge Reservation.
Investigators said the operation sold between 30 and 100 pounds of meth in the state.
A fourth person, 37-year-old Kaylee Heppner of Rapid City, received a five-year prison sentence for her role in the operation. Several others convicted on lesser charges in the conspiracy face sentencing this summer.
