41-year-old Alma Thirkettle pleaded guilty back in January for Delivery of a Controlled Substance Methamphetamine, a class C felony.

Thirkettle was arrested by Storm Lake Police on March 7th of last year in the 300 block of West Milwaukee Avenue. She was wanted on a Buena Vista County warrant charging her with two counts of a Controlled Substance Violation, a class C felony…and two counts of Controlled Substance Violation, a class B felony. The warrants were the result of an ongoing investigation into illegal drug sales conducted by the Storm Lake Police Department since the fall of 2021.
