Tulsa, Oklahoma – In a major blow to the region’s illicit drug trade, Terrall Lamar Johnson, 33, a St. Louis man, has been sentenced for Possession of Cocaine with Intent to Distribute.
U.S. District Judge John F. Heil, III, handed down the sentence on July 25, 2023, ordering Johnson to 120 months imprisonment, followed by five years of supervised release.
According to court documents, on July 25, 2023, Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers pulled over Johnson on US Highway 69 near Big Cabin. Johnson allowed troopers to search his vehicle. Once inside the vehicle, Troopers discovered suspected cocaine in six individually wrapped bundles.
Further investigation revealed that the six bundles weighed 15.3 pounds and tested positive for cocaine.
Judge Heil’s decision comes after the Drug Enforcement Administration and Oklahoma Highway Patrol investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Adam Bailey prosecuted the case.
Johnson will remain in custody pending transfer to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
The 15.3 pounds of cocaine discovered in Johnson’s vehicle is a significant amount, highlighting the ongoing issue of cocaine trafficking in the region.
As a result of Johnson’s sentence, the community can rest assured that those involved in the cocaine trade will face the full force of the law.
