100 Lbs of Meth: Man Faces Years in TX

⏱ 3 min read

Cameron Nesbitt, 33, of Lancaster, California, is staring down a long stretch in federal prison after a Texas jury found him guilty of running nearly 100 pounds of methamphetamine across state lines. The bust went down August 2, 2025, in Oldham County, Texas, when a state trooper clocked his rental car speeding. It wasn’t the lead foot that mattered, though – it was the stash hidden inside.

According to the trial, which concluded March 18, 2026, the trooper picked up on classic trafficking signals. A rental, nervous occupants. A search quickly confirmed suspicions, revealing almost 100 pounds of meth with an estimated street value of $400,000. Nesbitt was indicted in August 2025 on charges of conspiracy and possession with intent to distribute. Prosecutors laid out a case built on officer testimony and over 40 pieces of evidence.

US Attorney Ryan Raybould made it clear: Nesbitt tried to flood North Texas with a massive load of poison. DEA Special Agent in Charge Joseph B. Tucker warned other traffickers that North Texas isn’t an open highway for their product. This case hinged on a trooper’s sharp eyes and ability to spot the telltale signs.

Sentencing hasn’t been scheduled, but with that quantity of meth, Nesbitt is likely headed for a significant prison term. The joint investigation by the DEA and Texas DPS underscores the ongoing fight against drug networks using the region as a transit point. Federal agencies are vowing to crack down on anyone attempting to move illicit goods through Texas.
