Callie Marie Woolsey, Darron Ray Aldridge, Heroin Distribution, Oklahoma 2018

McAlester, OK – In a shocking turn of events, two residents of McAlester, Oklahoma have been sentenced for their roles in distributing heroin, a Schedule I controlled substance. Callie Marie Woolsey, 31, and Darron Ray Aldridge, 41, were found guilty of knowingly and intentionally distributing heroin on December 16, 2018, in the Eastern District of Oklahoma.

According to court documents, the defendants were involved in the distribution of heroin, which ultimately led to the death of A.B. The Government’s case included evidence that A.B. died as a result of ingesting the heroin the defendants distributed to them.

The case was investigated by the McAlester Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration. United States Attorney, Brian J. Kuester, expressed his sentiments on the matter, stating, ‘When death is avoidable, as it is when caused by drug overdose, it is especially tragic. The needless loss and pain is felt by family, friends, and community.’

Kuester also emphasized the dangers of heroin, an illicit opioid that has inflicted countless deaths across the country. He urged users to seek help and those providing others with heroin to stop before it’s too late.

DEA Special Agent in Charge, Eduardo A. Chávez, also weighed in on the case, stating, ‘Those who distribute drugs do so for one purpose, to make a profit. The DEA will never stop seeking justice for those who prey on others’ addictions.’

The Honorable Ronald A. White, U.S. District Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, presided over the hearings. Assistant United States Attorney Sarah McAmis represented the United States.

As a result of their guilty pleas, Woolsey was sentenced to 188 months’ imprisonment, followed by 3 years of supervised release, and ordered to pay $2,539.63 in restitution. Aldridge was sentenced to 151 months’ imprisonment, followed by 3 years of supervised release, and also ordered to pay $2,539.63 in restitution.
