Virginia Woman Sentenced to 188 Months in Prison for Methamphetamine Conspiracy
A member of a conspiracy that distributed methamphetamine in and around Virginia and Kentucky has been sentenced to 188 months in federal prison, announced United States Attorney John P. Fishwick Jr. on May 24, 2023. Tracie Cartwright, of Lawrenceville, Georgia, previously pled guilty to one count of conspiring to possess with the intent to distribute and to distribute methamphetamine.
“Methamphetamine is an addictive and deadly substance,” United States Attorney Fishwick said today. “We are proud to work with our partners on the local, state and federal levels to continue to fight to the scourge of methamphetamine trafficking throughout the region.”
This investigation has charged 15 individuals with being part of the conspiracy, two of which have already been sentenced to federal prison terms. Cartwright, who pled guilty to her role in the conspiracy, was sentenced today in District Court.
The investigation of the case was conducted by the Bell County, Kentucky Sheriff’s Office, the Middlesboro, Kentucky Police Department, the Lee County Virginia Sheriff’s Office and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Bristol and Atlanta Field Divisions. Assistant United States Attorney Zachary T. Lee prosecuted the case for the United States.
Tracie Cartwright, 36, of Lawrenceville, Georgia, was sentenced for conspiring to possess with the intent to distribute and to distribute methamphetamine in the Western District of Virginia. The exact date of her guilty plea was not specified in the press release.
According to the charges, Cartwright was part of a group that distributed methamphetamine in and around Virginia and Kentucky. Her sentence of 188 months in federal prison reflects the severity of her crimes and the ongoing efforts of law enforcement to combat methamphetamine trafficking in the region.
