The first of two people found with 10 pounds of methamphetamine in their vehicle in October on Interstate 35 was sentenced to five years in prison Tuesday in U.S. District Court.

Janet Elizabeth Lockwood pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing meth as part of a plea agreement in January. She will serve three years on supervised release after her prison sentence, according to court records.

Court documents state Charles Edward Huller III and Lockwood were arrested after authorities found 10 cellophane-wrapped packages, each containing approximately 1 pound of suspected meth, in the trunk of the vehicle they were driving during a traffic stop Oct. 19 on I-35. Two grams of meth were later taken from Huller in the Freeborn County jail.

U.S. District Court documents state during a post-arrest interview, Lockwood said she was taking the meth to a customer in St. Paul, and Huller knew that at least 1 pound of meth was in the vehicle because they had used some of the drug during their drive from California.

Huller, who pleaded guilty to the same charge in January, is expected to be sentenced June 11.
