EUGENE, Ore. - On June 9, 2014, Gretchan Anderson, 43, of Portland, Oregon was sentenced in U.S. District Court to 110 months in federal prison for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. Upon her release from prison, Anderson will be on supervised release for four years.

Anderson is a career offender who was caught twice last year dealing methamphetamine. The first of those two incidents happened on February 26, 2013, in Portland and resulted in state charges.  While the state charges were pending, Anderson was again arrested on July 19, 2013. At the time of her arrest, she was traveling from Portland to Lane County to distribute methamphetamine. This incident resulted in the current federal drug charge. Anderson has a lengthy criminal history including convictions for burglary in the first degree and manufacture of a controlled substance.

The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Lane County Narcotics Enforcement Team
