A Marfa man has been found guilty of possessing methamphetamine with intent to distribute in a Texas federal court.
A federal jury sitting in Pecos convicted Stephen Dudley Brunson, 63, of the crime last week.
The crime was discovered after Brunson was stopped for a traffic violation. He was subsequently arrested for Class C offenses involving the license plate and temporary permit displayed on the vehicle he was driving.
According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, several knives and brass knuckles were found on Brunson’s person as well as over 27 grams of methamphetamine.
Brunson faces up to 20 years in prison. A sentencing date has not been scheduled yet.
He has remained in federal custody since his arrest on February 18, 2022.
The investigation was conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Amy L. Greenbaum and Sarah Spears are prosecuting the case.
