David A. Floyd, Meth Conspiracy, Missouri 2017

A massive methamphetamine conspiracy has been brought to justice in Springfield, Missouri.

David A. Floyd, 44, of Springfield, was sentenced to 13 years and six months in federal prison without parole on Monday, May 22, 2017, for his role in a conspiracy to distribute large quantities of methamphetamine.

The conspiracy, which lasted from June 1, 2013, to November 29, 2014, involved Floyd and other individuals receiving methamphetamine from Daniel and Kenna Harmon, who distributed in excess of 45 kilograms of methamphetamine in southwest Missouri during this time.

Floyd personally received more than 500 grams of methamphetamine from the Harmon drug-trafficking organization, which he then distributed to other persons.

The case began when federal agents conducted a traffic stop and searched Floyd’s vehicle on August 1, 2014. Officers found approximately 322 grams of methamphetamine, which Floyd received from Kenna Harmon, and 39 grams of marijuana. Officers also discovered $3,156.

Beginning in 2012, the Drug Enforcement Administration, assisted by other agencies, investigated a large-scale methamphetamine distribution network in southwest Missouri involving several sources of supply. The investigation resulted in the indictment of 28 co-defendants.

Other defendants in the case include Daniel and Kenna Harmon, who were sentenced for their roles in the conspiracy. Daniel Harmon was indicted in the Eastern District of Missouri and pleaded guilty to possessing methamphetamine with the intent to distribute and to being a felon in possession of a firearm. Kenna Harmon has pleaded guilty to being a leader in the drug-trafficking conspiracy as well as a money-laundering conspiracy and to being a felon in possession of a firearm.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Randall D. Eggert, Nhan D. Nguyen and Cynthia J. Hyde. It was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, IRS-Criminal Investigation, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the Springfield, Mo., Police Department and Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
