Mabrier Faces Federal Meth Charges | Des Moines News

A year after Tomie Lee Misner Jr.’s death in Newton—initially ruled a drug overdose—the case has exploded into a federal drug scandal. Four local men were charged, but the spotlight now centers on Scott Ray Mabrier, facing federal meth distribution charges after DEA found meth in his car and on his person. The case spiraled when Misner’s body was discovered at Jeffrey Stevens’ home after Mabrier’s arrest, revealing tangled connections between overdose deaths and cover-ups. State charges are mostly resolved, with Stevens getting 30 days, Olofson up to two years, and Buell a fine—while Mabrier faces up to 10 years for abuse of a corpse. But the real drama is ahead: Mabrier’s federal trial on drug conspiracy charges is set for September 28th, where he could face serious time.
