A Tucson woman credited with running one of Tucson’s largest methamphetamine organizations was sentenced to five years in prison Friday to be followed by four years of probation.
Pima County Superior Court Judge Michael Cruikshank told Donna Greenwell she is “the best example of the destruction methamphetamine can have on a person’s life.”
Authorities believe Greenwell, 51, and Timothy Owens, 50, ran a large methamphetamine ring in the middle of Tucson for more than a year.
Owens and Greenwell were indicted along with 39 other people in August 2005 on multiple drug-related counts.
Owens was sentenced to life in prison in February after being convicted of 22 felony charges, including illegal control of an enterprise, use of an electronic communication device in drug transactions, solicitation to commit murder and kidnapping, and a variety of drug charges.
