A Clinton woman faces up to life in prison after pleading guilty to several charges in connection with a conspiracy to distribute crystal “ice” methamphetamine.

Amanda Marie Flores, 31, pleaded guilty Thursday in U.S. District Court, Davenport, to one count of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance, two counts of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, and one count of possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug crime.

She will be sentenced Oct. 10.

On Dec. 24, 2017, Flores possessed approximately 13.9 grams of crystal methamphetamine in Clinton County, according to the federal plea agreement.

Throughout 2018, Flores, co-defendants Landon Gregory, Deandre Anthony, Shauntus Smallwood, Dustin Dauen and others conspired to distribute pounds of methamphetamine in the Clinton County area and was shipping pounds of drugs into the area.

One of the packages that contained approximately eight pounds of methamphetamine was sent to an address on Adams Place in Clinton.

On July 16, 2018, police intercepted a package addressed to the same address. The package contained more than five pounds of methamphetamine.
