Alexandria, Va. – Robert Mason Wildes, 35, of Dunn Loring, was today sentenced to 136 months in prison for distributing 50 grams or more of methamphetamine.
Wildes pleaded guilty on February 3 after law enforcement seized approximately 4.8 kilograms of meth and drug proceeds from his vehicle and home during a December 2016 raid. Authorities also uncovered fraudulent identification cards, packaging materials, and other evidence indicating a sophisticated distribution network.
The DEA and U.S. Postal Inspection Service investigated the case as part of the OCDETF Ring of Ice task force, targeting major drug trafficking organizations. The OCDETF program aims to dismantle serious drug trafficking, weapons trafficking, and money laundering operations.
Senior U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III announced the sentence, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Carina A. Cuellar leading the prosecution. The investigation was a collaborative effort between federal and state agencies under the OCDETF program.
A full press release can be found on the website of the Eastern District of Virginia’s U.S. Attorney’s Office. Court documents are available on the District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia or PACER, using Case No. 1:17-cr-17.
