Three rural Hiawatha residents have been sentenced to prison on felony drug charges.
40-year-old Charles “ Chip” Shelley was sentenced today ( Friday ) in Brown County District Court to 56 months in prison on charges of unlawful distribution and unlawful possession of a drug precursor.
35-year-old Cara Perry was sentenced to 54 months in prison on the same charges.
A third defendant in the case, 44-year-old Nadia Negretti, was sentenced Monday to 51 months in prison on a charge of unlawful distribution of a drug precursor.
All three pleaded no contest to the charges last month as part of a plea-agreement. In exchange for the plea, two additional charges were dismissed against Negretti and Perry, and an additional charge against Shelly.
The trio were arrested in December after the Brown County Sheriff’s Department, with the assistance of the Sac and Fox Tribal Police Department, served a search warrant on a residence at 1631 250th Street.
