Corinthius Shatuel Woodard, a 30-year-old meth kingpin from Foley, Alabama, was dealing bulk methamphetamine and fentanyl between August 2022 and July 2024. Woodard supplied multiple pounds of pure methamphetamine to various customers in the Baldwin County area, leading to a sprawling investigation that culminated in his arrest on June 15, 2024. Woodard’s downfall began when police seized crack cocaine and cocaine from a rental car linked to him, and found text messages on a seized phone that implicated him in a vast drug-trafficking organization.
As the investigation unfolded, deputies seized more than 200 grams of pure methamphetamine and fentanyl pills from one of Woodard’s conspirators, and later caught two of his associates with nearly a kilogram of pure methamphetamine after a high-speed chase. But it was Woodard’s own reckless behavior that sealed his fate: on June 15, 2024, he led deputies on a high-speed chase with three young children in the back seat, tossing a large plastic bag containing over 300 grams of methamphetamine out the window.
Woodard pleaded guilty to participating in the drug-trafficking organization, and was sentenced to 324 months in prison. The case was investigated by the Homeland Security Task Force, with assistance from the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office and other agencies.
The sentence marks a significant victory in the war on methamphetamine in Alabama, where the drug has wreaked havoc on communities. Woodard’s case is a stark reminder of the dangers of methamphetamine trafficking, and the lengths to which dealers will go to evade law enforcement.
