MADISON, WI (WSAU) — A Marshfield woman will serve federal prison time after pleading guilty to counts of conspiracy to distribute cocaine and methamphetamine.
Shandel L. Mohr will serve twelve months and one day followed by three years of supervised release. The charge was the result of an investigation that began in early 2022 when officers intercepted drug-laden packages from the mail and conducted controlled purchases of narcotics from known dealers around Central Wisconsin.
Officers determined that the ring was distributing large amounts of narcotics and that Mohr had taken over as ringleader after the arrest of another distributor.
The 32-year-old was on probation for a domestic abuse case at the time of her arrest for the federal charges. She was convicted of those charges and placed on probation.
US District Judge William Conley noted that Mohr joined a serious drug trafficking conspiracy and took over an important distribution point in Marshfield, even though it was for a shorter duration than many of her co-defendants.
Eight others were also charged in connection with this drug trafficking organization. Teala Kumbera was convicted of conspiracy to distribute cocaine and methamphetamine and sentenced by Judge Conley on November 14, 2024, to 54 months in federal prison. Tommie Haney, Quo Vadis Lewis, Craig C. Gates, and Troy A. Olsen have all pleaded guilty and are scheduled to be sentenced in the coming months. Cases against Edwin Lewis, Samuel A. Teague, and Shelby Gutch are still pending and the three are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
