Harrison County Woman Sentenced for Methamphetamine Violations

MARSHALL – A 23-year-old Karnack woman has been sentenced to federal prison for her role in a sweeping drug trafficking case. Anna Lerey Woodall pleaded guilty in May to possession of pseudoephedrine with intent to manufacture methamphetamine. She was sentenced Tuesday in Marshall to 37 months in federal prison by U.S. District Judge Rodney Gilstrap.

According to federal prosecutors, Woodall was involved in a conspiracy to manufacture and distribute methamphetamine in East Texas. The conspiracy involved defendants traveling to multiple pharmacies to purchase numerous boxes of cold pills containing pseudoephedrine, which is used in the manufacture of methamphetamine. An 839-count federal indicted was returned on February 1, 2012, charging Woodall and 16 other co-defendants with federal drug crimes. Of those defendants, 14 have been convicted.
