SYRACUSE, NEW YORK – A Watertown resident has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for attempting to possess controlled substances with the intent to distribute.

Stuart Chambers, age 44, was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Syracuse to 120 months in prison. Chambers admitted to purchasing what he believed to be one pound of methamphetamine and nine ounces of cocaine on January 30, 2024, with the intent to distribute.

Chambers' sentence includes an additional 24 months in prison for violating the conditions of supervised release from a previous offense. U.S. District Court Judge Frederick J. Scullin also ordered Chambers to serve an 8-year term of supervised release following his release from prison.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) investigated the case with assistance from the Pennsylvania State Police, Metro-Jefferson Drug Task Force, and New York State Police Special Investigations Unit - Syracuse. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jessica N. Carbone prosecuted the case.

Chambers was previously convicted in federal court in the Middle District of Pennsylvania of possessing controlled substances with the intent to distribute. His prior conviction led to the additional charges in the current case.

The controlled substances that Chambers attempted to possess included one pound of methamphetamine and nine ounces of cocaine.

Chambers' sentence reflects the severity of the crime and the potential consequences for those involved in the distribution of controlled substances.
