MADISON, WI (WSAU) — A third person has been sentenced to federal prison time in connection with a Marathon County meth ring that was busted last Spring.
Jessica Colby will serve 30 months (2.5 years) for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine for her role in the ring. Officers found that she and another man, Joshua Lake, were dealing the drug out of their home in Stratford.
Investigators were led to Colby and Lake through a series of controlled purchases involving Mercadys Perkins of Weston. They later discovered that Colby was responsible for picking up and delivering bulk shipments of drugs and making payments to cartel-connected dealers. She also admitted to having her own drug customers in the area. Those deliveries included 23 kilograms of methamphetamine and 6 kilograms of cocaine.
The 29-year-old will also serve three years on supervised release. She pleaded guilty to the charge back in January.
Others serving time in connection with the ring include Perkins, who was convicted of conspiracy to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine and sentenced to 6 years in federal prison on April 17, 2025. Dustin Brunker was convicted of conspiracy to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine and sentenced to 7 years in federal prison on April 24, 2025.
Lake has pleaded guilty and is scheduled to be sentenced in US District court on June 4, 2025.
