Nampa Woman Headed to Federal Prison on Drug Charges

A woman from Nampa has been sentenced to 144 months in federal prison for possessing, with the intent to distribute, 15 pounds of fentanyl. Prosecutors say 34 year old Wathana Insixiengmay was a main fentanyl distributor for a large drug trafficking organization with direct ties to Mexico, who received between 12 and 15 pounds of fentanyl… that’s about 60,000 pills… on a weekly basis for local distribution. In return she was sending between $50,000 and $100,000 back to the supplier each following week. She was arrested in what authorities are now calling one of the largest, if not the largest, individual seizure of fentanyl in the District of Idaho’s history. She was also ordered to pay a $500 fine and to serve five years of supervised release following her prison sentence.
