Phuoc Hong, Methamphetamine Conspiracy, Missouri 2014

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – In a shocking turn of events, a Warrensburg man and an Independence man have been sentenced in federal court for their roles in a methamphetamine conspiracy that took place from December 2013 to May 2014.

Phuoc Hong, also known as Tony Hong, 33, of Warrensburg, was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison without parole. Roldan was sentenced to five years and 10 months in federal prison without parole. Both men pleaded guilty to participating in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.

Hong admitted that he sold methamphetamine from his Warrensburg residence and from other locations. An undercover agent for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives purchased methamphetamine from Hong on 11 occasions and purchased cocaine or crack cocaine from Hong on four occasions.

Roldan admitted that he supplied Hong with approximately one to two ounces of methamphetamine per week, later increasing to two to three ounces per week. This staggering amount of methamphetamine has left law enforcement officials stunned.

The investigation resulted in the purchase or seizure of a total of 424.6 grams of methamphetamine, 68.3 grams of cocaine, and 65.7 grams of crack cocaine. In addition to the methamphetamine actually purchased from Hong, it is believed that he is responsible for at least another pound of methamphetamine that he sold to Meyer.

Law enforcement officers conducted a search of Roldan’s residence and seized 88.5 grams of methamphetamine and $12,000 that came from the sale of a pound of methamphetamine to another individual.

Meyer admitted that he was in possession of a Hi-Point 9mm pistol when his vehicle was stopped by Kansas City, Mo., police officers on Jan. 18, 2014. Under federal law, it is illegal for anyone who has been convicted of a felony to be in possession of any firearm or ammunition.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Bruce E. Clark. It was investigated by the Warrensburg, Mo., Police Department, the Johnson County, Mo., Sheriff’s Department, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the Knob Noster, Mo., Police Department, the Sedalia, Mo., Police Department, the Kansas City, Mo., Police Department, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
