Muskogee, Oklahoma – In a stunning turn of events, KENNETH TODD PUCKETT, the 40-year-old drug kingpin from Garland, Texas, has entered a guilty plea for Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine. The charges stem from a joint investigation by the Choctaw Nation Tribal Police and federal agencies including the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Puckett’s downfall began in March 2013 when he was indicted on the federal charges. The Information against him alleged that on September 4, 2013, within the Eastern District of Oklahoma, Puckett intentionally possessed a mixture or substance containing detectable amounts of methamphetamine, a Schedule II Controlled Substance.

The hearing was presided over by the Honorable Steven P. Shreder, Magistrate Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, located in Muskogee. As of now, Puckett remains in the custody of the United States Marshal Service pending sentencing.

The severity of the charges against Puckett is not lost on anyone; he faces a statutory range of punishment that could include not more than 20 years or more than life imprisonment, along with a fine of up to $1,000,000 and 3 years of supervised release.

Assistant United States Attorney Shannon Henson represented the United States in this case. The gravity of Puckett’s crime underscores the ongoing battle against methamphetamine distribution in Oklahoma and across the nation.

Puckett’s conviction serves as a stark reminder of the relentless efforts by federal agencies to dismantle drug trafficking operations and protect communities from the dangers of illegal drugs.
