Kenneth Hall, Methamphetamine Sales, Nevada 2018

A Henderson man has been sentenced to six years in prison for his role in a methamphetamine distribution ring in Southern Nevada. Kenneth Hall, 38, was found guilty of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute methamphetamine.

According to court documents, between March 6 and April 3, 2018, Hall sold a total of 383.6 grams of methamphetamine in Henderson and Las Vegas. The sales took place during a six-week period, with the final sale occurring on April 3. On that day, Hall showed and offered to sell a handgun to the buyer.

Later that day, during a traffic stop, officers found over 300 grams of methamphetamine, plastic baggies, and $4,080 in cash in Hall’s vehicle. When officers executed a search warrant at Hall’s residence, they found a 9mm Sig Sauer semiautomatic handgun, along with two magazines and ammunition. A convicted felon, Hall is prohibited from possessing a firearm.

Hall pleaded guilty to one count of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute methamphetamine. In addition to the prison term, U.S. District Judge Andrew P. Gordon sentenced Hall to five years of supervised release.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher Chiou for the District of Nevada and Special Agent in Charge Francisco Burrola for Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) made the announcement.

This case was investigated by HSI and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Dan Cowhig prosecuted the case.

The sentencing is a significant blow to those involved in methamphetamine distribution in Southern Nevada. The cooperation between law enforcement agencies has led to a reduction in methamphetamine-related crimes in the region.
