Queen of Meth is a 2021 American three part documentary series[1] centering upon Lori Arnold, who was a major methamphetamine dealer in the Midwest. Her meth production and distribution operation was based on a 170 acre ranch in Ottumwa, Iowa, and grossed more than $200,000 per week at its peak.[2] In 1991 she was arrested by the DEA, who seized more than $10 million in assets from her. Convicted of drug trafficking and money laundering, Arnold spent 15 years in prison.[3][4][5] Lori is the sister of actor and comedian Tom Arnold.[4][6]
