Angela Seavers, Methamphetamine Conspiracy, Illinois 2013

Angela Seavers, 35, of Ridgeway, Illinois, has been dealt a harsh sentence for her role in a methamphetamine conspiracy. On February 2012 and March 2013, Seavers conspired with Dustin J. Lowe, 25, also of Ridgeway, and others to illegally manufacture the highly addictive and destructive drug.

Seavers, who pled guilty on October 24, 2013, to the conspiracy charge, was sentenced to a term of 37 months in prison. Lowe also pled guilty to the conspiracy charge on December 13, 2013, and is currently scheduled for sentencing on April 3rd at 10:00 a.m. at the United States District Courthouse in Benton.

In addition to the 37 month term, Seavers was ordered to pay fines and special assessments totaling $200 and was placed on a 3 year term of supervised release to follow her incarceration. Under federal law, parole has been abolished, meaning that Seavers will be required to serve a minimum of 85% of her sentence.

Seavers has been held in the custody of the United States Marshal since her bond was revoked in September. She was again remanded to the custody of the Marshal to await designation to a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility.

The case was investigated by the Carmi office of the Southern Illinois Drug Task Force and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney James M. Cutchin.

Seavers’ sentencing marks a significant blow to the methamphetamine trade in Gallatin County. The highly addictive and destructive drug has ravaged communities across the country, causing widespread devastation and heartache. This sentence serves as a reminder that those involved in the manufacture and distribution of this deadly drug will be held accountable.

The Southern Illinois Drug Task Force is committed to disrupting and dismantling the methamphetamine trade in our region. We will continue to work tirelessly to identify and prosecute those involved in this destructive activity.

The prosecution of Seavers and Lowe is a testament to the dedication and expertise of Assistant United States Attorney James M. Cutchin and the entire prosecution team. Their hard work and determination have helped to bring another methamphetamine conspiracy to justice.
