A Muskogee, Oklahoma, court has handed down a 21-month prison sentence to Deja Monet Phillips, 18, for her role in concealing a large quantity of methamphetamine.
Phillips, of Houlka, Mississippi, was found guilty of Misprison of a Felony, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 6, according to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma.
The charge stems from an investigation by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
According to the Information, on or about March 6, 2014, Phillips assisted another individual in concealing a large quantity of methamphetamine and failed to report it to law enforcement when the opportunity arose.
The Honorable James H. Payne, District Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, presided over the hearing.
