METH LAB: Pettigrew gets 10 years | Crime

A man who conspired to manufacture and distribute methamphetamine was sentenced Friday for 10 years in federal prison.

Keith Pettigrew, 28, from Fort Dodge, Iowa, received the prison term after a July guilty plea to conspiracy to manufacture and distribute methamphetamine.

At the guilty plea, Pettigrew admitted his involvement in a conspiracy that manufactured at least 50 grams of pure methamphetamine from December 2009 through July 2011.  Pettigrew also acquired at least 130 grams of pseudoephedrine and provided the pseudoephedrine to others for the manufacture of methamphetamine.   

Pettigrew is being held in the United States Marshal’s custody until he can be transported to a federal prison. There is no parole in the federal system.
