A Bayard woman has recently been sentenced for drug related charges.

According to Guthrie County Attorney Brenna Bird, 30-year-old Gabriella Renee Madison pleaded guilty to an amended charge of possession with intent to manufacture or deliver methamphetamine, a class C felony, and gathering where controlled substances are unlawfully used, a class D felony. Judge Tom Murphy sentenced Madison to 15 years in prison which was suspended for her to serve three years probation. Madison is also ordered to pay $1,750 in fines as well as a 35% surcharge, law enforcement initiative surcharge, court costs, and attorney’s fees.

All other charges for the case were dismissed, and Madison was originally charged with a class B felony for the incident that occurred on July 14, 2019. The Guthrie County Sheriff’s Office, Panora Police Department, Iowa State Patrol, and the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation all assisted in the case.
