A Tulsa man has been sentenced for his role in a methamphetamine trafficking operation, announced U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson.
Clifton Darnell Brown, 47, of Sand Springs, was sentenced to 151 months imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, for Possession of Methamphetamine with Intent to Distribute and being a Felon in Possession of a Firearm and Ammunition, in the Western District of Oklahoma.
The charges stem from a September 2024 incident where Tulsa Police were dispatched to a gas station after employees reported a car was parked at a gas pump for an extended period of time. The occupant, later identified as Brown, appeared to be unconscious and failed to comply with officers’ commands, attempting to flee from them.
During the encounter, officers found a baggie that Brown threw, another baggie in his pants, marijuana, and a loaded handgun in the car. Lab forensics revealed that the baggies contained methamphetamine, cocaine, and fentanyl.
Court records show that Brown was previously convicted of several felonies, including grand larceny, drug-related offenses, attempted burglary, and possessing a firearm after pleading guilty to felonies.
Brown will remain in custody pending transfer to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Tulsa Police Department investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Nathan E. Michel prosecuted the case.
The case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program that brings together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
