(Idaho State) A federal jury convicted Jason Lundholm, 36, of Idaho Falls, of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver after a four-day trial, U.S. Attorney Josh Hurwit announced today.
According to court records, on September 26, 2023, officers with the Idaho Falls Police Department conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle in Idaho Falls. Lundholm was seated in the back passenger seat. Officers searched the vehicle and found 227 grams of methamphetamine in a fast food bag located at Lundholm’s feet. Evidence presented during the trial established that Lundholm conspired with his co-defendants, Jeremy Wheeler, 49, of Idaho Falls, and Breena Jolley, 44, of Pocatello, who were also in the vehicle, to distribute methamphetamine.
The jury found Lundholm guilty of both charges after two hours of deliberation on November 21, 2024. Lundholm is scheduled to be sentenced on February 13, 2025, before Senior U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill. Lundholm faces a maximum penalty of twenty years in federal prison.
Wheeler and Jolley previously pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and are both scheduled for sentencing on December 18, 2024 before Judge Winmill.
