Brian D. Underwood and Holly J. King arrested by Sun Prairie police and state Department of Justice agents.

Brian D. Underwood, 31, and Holly J. King, 38, were indicted in April for using a residence at 1106 Pine St. to make methamphetamine after being arrested by Sun Prairie police and state Department of Justice agents.
Although cooking the ingredients to make methamphetamine creates a strong odor, Sun Prairie police didn't receive a tip about Underwood's activity until earlier this year, said Assistant U.S. Attorney David Reinhard.
After their search of Underwood's garage, authorities brought in a hazardous waste cleanup team to remove contaminate residue and equipment from the once-functioning methamphetamine lab, he said.Prior to obtaining a search warrant, police learned that Underwood had acquired 140 grams of pseudoephedrine from area pharmacies, said Reinhard. Underwood told authorities that he made methamphetamine three times a week between March 9, 2007 and March 18, 2008, Reinhard said.Reinhard said Underwood made about 200 grams of methamphetamine during the past year, which he characterized as "quite a lot."Underwood faces statutory maximum penalties of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine at a Sept. 24 sentencing before U.S. District Court Judge Barbara Crabb. Underwood's actual sentence will reflect the amount of methamphetamine he made, his role in the offense, prior convictions and his agreement to plead guilty.

Sotiris Christos Andreas has been jailed for 14-and-a-half years

Sotiris Christos Andreas, of The Ridgeway, Enfield, was caught when customs officers searched his car in Dover last September.They discovered 20 kilos of cocaine in a false floor which ran the length of the vehicle.Over 14 kilos of the cocaine were 100 per cent pure and the entire haul had a street value of £800,000 which would have increased significantly when cut by drug dealers.
Mr Andreas, who turned 50 two days before he was sentenced on Friday at Canterbury Crown Court, denied the charge of being knowingly concerned in the fraudulent evasion of the prohibition on importing a class A drug.Also convicted was Cypriot national Pavlos Petrou Andronicou, 61, who lived in St Ann's Road, Edmonton, before being sent to Belmarsh Prison where he is serving two and a half years for importing cannabis.He also denied the charge and received a 19-year sentence after being found guilty.

Karla Von Hagen 18 months for the crack cocaine, six months for the marijuana and three months for a breach of undertaking.

Karla Von Hagen, 18 at the time of the offence, broke down in tears in the courtroom as the sentence was read and was taken away by provincial courthouse security.
Judge Tom Ferris gave Von Hagen 18 months for the crack cocaine, six months for the marijuana and three months for a breach of undertaking. The sentences are to be served concurrently, meaning at the same time.
Von Hagen admitted to smuggling a package in her vaginal cavity into the prison Saskatchewan Penitentiary, but claimed she didn’t do the packaging and didn’t know what was in it.
When she got to the prison, Von Hagen was tested and searched for drugs and brought into an interview room. She was nervous, according to the Crown, and after a trip to the bathroom produced the package. Inside the package, prison staff found two rocks of crack and about $160-$200 worth of marijuana. She was released on undertaking, until she was observed by police drinking beer at a local bar in March 2007 and charged with the breach. She pleaded guilty to possession for the purpose of trafficking and failure to comply to condition of undertaking.

We will continue to work with our partners in HMRC to tackle smugglers who attempt to bring goods illegally into the UK.
