According to court documents, Nina Booher, 36, bought pounds of methamphetamine for redistribution to her customers in Northern Virginia. Beginning in early 2018, Booher was buying pounds of methamphetamine every two or three weeks from her boyfriend and co-conspirator, Matthew Colby Cochran. Then, when she learned the identity of her boyfriend’s supplier, who was based in New York, she started buying methamphetamine directly from the supplier.
