SIOUX CITY -- A federal jury has found a Minnesota man guilty of selling methamphetamine in Northwest Iowa.

According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Andrew Orellana, who has a lengthy criminal history including convictions for theft, assault, burglary and drug possession, admitted to selling a quarter pound of meth for $3,200.

Police said that during their interview of Thomas Tuttle, he told them he had intended to engage law enforcement officers in armed conflict and planned to rob a bank.

SIOUX CITY -- A Sioux City man was sentenced Monday to 15 years in federal prison for selling methamphetamine.

According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, the woman admitted that she opened mail and/or stole mail and took at least $395 as well as narcotic medications prescribed to others.

Amy Francisco and her husband are charged with helping a 17-year-old girl and her father get to the U.S./Mexico border at El Paso, Texas, and travel to Sioux City, where, court documents say, the man raped the girl five times during her five-day stay.

According to an indictment, the man was in possession of 500 grams or more of methamphetamine, 280 grams or more of cocaine and an unspecified amount of heroin. He also had two 9mm handguns. The complaint said $15,000-$20,000 in cash also was found.

According to court documents, the man received 16 packages addressed to several aliases at his home. He was arrested after officers executed a search warrant at his home and found him in possession of methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin and two guns.

Deputies arrested the 37-year-old woman for a third offense of possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine), failure to affix a drug tax stamp and possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, all of which are felonies.

On two occasions, the 39-year-old woman, who has 25 convictions since 2004, sold meth in controlled drug buys with law enforcement.
