A local woman has been sentenced to prison time for her role in distributing methamphetamine in the Eastern District of Oklahoma.
Amber Luana Small, age 25, of Sallisaw, Oklahoma, was sentenced to 70 months imprisonment, and 4 years of supervised release for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, in violation of Title 21, United States Code, Sections 841(a)(1) and 841(b)(1)(B), and Title 18, United States Code, Section 2.
The charge arose from an investigation by the District 27 Drug Task Force and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
The Indictment alleged that on or about August 30, 2016, within the Eastern District of Oklahoma, the defendant did knowingly and intentionally possess with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine, a Schedule II controlled substance.
The Honorable Ronald A. White, District Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, in Muskogee, presided over the hearing. The defendant will remain in custody pending transportation to the designated federal facility at which the nonparoleable sentence will be served.
Assistant United States Attorney Timothy Hammer represented the United States.
Small’s sentence is a result of her involvement in the distribution of a significant amount of methamphetamine. Her actions not only put the community at risk but also perpetuate the cycle of addiction and violence associated with the drug trade.
