• Pleads guilty to meth conspiracy

Daniel Trevino, 45, formerly of Primghar, pled guilty on Feb. 5 to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.

According to the United States Attorney’s Office, Trevino admitted at the plea hearing that between December 2020 and April 2021, he and others were involved in a conspiracy to distribute more than 500 grams of methamphetamine. During a traffic stop on April 24, 2021, Trevino showed signs of impairment. Law enforcement received permission to search a bag located next to Trevino. A scale, cell phones and other drug paraphernalia were discovered in the bag.

When Trevino’s vehicle was being secured to be towed, a black magnetic box fell from the steering column which later was found to contain approximately a quarter pound of methamphetamine. According to the release, Trevino admitted he had just picked up the methamphetamine from a source in Colorado.

Sentencing before United States District Court Chief Judge Leonard T. Strand will be set after a presentence report is prepared. Trevino remains in custody of the United States Marshal pending sentencing. He faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years’ imprisonment and a possible maximum sentence of life imprisonment, a $10 million fine and at least five years of supervised release following any imprisonment.

The case is being prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office and was investigated by the O’Brien County Sheriff’s Office and the Iowa DCI Laboratory.
