Jermaine Stamps, Armed Methamphetamine Dealer, Wisconsin 2019

MADISON, Wis. - A local man has been sentenced to five years in federal prison for his role in a methamphetamine trafficking operation.

Jermaine Stamps, 33, of Madison, was sentenced to five years in federal prison, followed by four years of supervised release, for possessing more than 50 grams of methamphetamine with intent to distribute.

According to court documents, Stamps pleaded guilty to this charge on October 30, 2019.

In June and July 2019, Stamps distributed methamphetamine to an undercover officer on five occasions. On July 18, 2019, the Dane County Narcotics Task Force executed a search warrant at his apartment, recovering 64 grams of methamphetamine, a loaded Glock 9mm pistol, and $1,079.

Stamps admitted he had been distributing narcotics for five years and that he had recently begun selling methamphetamine as well.

This case has been brought as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), the U.S. Justice Department's program to reduce violent crime. The PSN approach involves collaboration by federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies and prosecutors and communities to address gun crime, especially felons illegally possessing firearms and ammunition, and violent crimes and drug crimes that involve the use of firearms.

The charge against Stamps was the result of an investigation conducted by the Dane County Narcotics Task Force. The prosecution of the case has been handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Rita M. Rumbelow.
