Fayetteville Man Sentenced to 8 Years for Methamphetamine Trafficking

A 43-year-old Fayetteville man has been sentenced to 8 years in federal prison for his role in a methamphetamine trafficking operation in Northwest Arkansas. Titus Parks, of Fayetteville, was sentenced to 96 months in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for one count of Possession of Methamphetamine with Intent to Distribute.

Parks was identified by the Fourth Judicial District Drug Task Force as a distributor of methamphetamine in the area. In April 2018, investigators arranged and conducted controlled purchases of methamphetamine from Parks, which led to a search warrant being executed at his residence on April 12, 2018. During the search, investigators recovered a bag containing approximately 36 grams of methamphetamine.

Parks was indicted by a federal grand jury in April 2018 and entered a guilty plea in September 2018. The case was investigated by the Fourth Judicial District Drug Task Force, with Assistant United States Attorney Amy Driver prosecuting the case for the United States.

According to court records, the investigation into methamphetamine trafficking in the Western District of Arkansas led to Parks being identified as a key player in the operation. The sentencing hearing was presided over by the Honorable Timothy L. Brooks in the United States District Court in Fayetteville.

U.S. Attorney Duane (DAK) Kees announced the sentencing, stating that the efforts of law enforcement in identifying and prosecuting those involved in methamphetamine trafficking are crucial in keeping communities safe. The sentence handed down to Parks serves as a reminder of the serious consequences of engaging in such activities.

The investigation and prosecution of this case are a testament to the dedication of law enforcement agencies in the Western District of Arkansas to combatting the scourge of methamphetamine trafficking. The sentence handed down to Parks is a significant blow to those involved in this illicit activity and a victory for the community.

The Fourth Judicial District Drug Task Force is comprised of law enforcement agencies from across the region, working together to identify and prosecute those involved in methamphetamine trafficking. The success of this operation is a direct result of the collaboration and dedication of these agencies.
