A Jefferson City, Mo., man has been brought to justice for his role in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.
According to court documents, Javier Rashad Rosser, 32, pleaded guilty in federal court to one count of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine from April 4, 2016, to April 4, 2017.
The investigation revealed that co-defendant Shadeed Seifullah Muhammad, 42, of Compton, Calif., mailed two packages containing nearly three pounds of methamphetamine to Rosser’s address in Jefferson City.
The first package, mailed on April 4, 2016, contained nearly two pounds of methamphetamine and was tracked online by a computer IP address that traced to Rosser’s residence. However, a co-conspirator, Robert Istill McNair, 32, of Jefferson City, picked up the package and left it in his car at work, but Rosser never picked it up. On the same day, Rosser deposited $5,500 into the bank account of Muhammad’s girlfriend.
Muhammad also mailed another package containing approximately one pound, nine ounces of methamphetamine to an address at Lincoln University in Jefferson City on March 30, 2017. A student at Lincoln University later told investigators that Rosser had asked her to pick up the package and deliver it to him.
On April 4, 2017, U.S. Postal Inspection agents set up a controlled delivery and surveillance at the Lincoln University mailroom. When an individual arrived to pick up the package from the mailroom, he was arrested.
Under federal statutes, Rosser is subject to a mandatory minimum sentence of ten years in federal prison without parole, up to a sentence of life in federal prison without parole. The maximum statutory sentence is prescribed by Congress and is provided here for informational purposes, as the sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the court based on the advisory sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors. A sentencing hearing will be scheduled after the completion of a presentence investigation by the United States Probation Office.
