Syracuse, NY – In a shocking turn of events, 44-year-old Stuart Chambers of Watertown, New York, has pleaded guilty to attempting to possess methamphetamine and cocaine with the intent to distribute.
According to the United States Attorney’s Office, the arrest was made as part of a large-scale drug interdiction operation conducted by the DEA and other law enforcement agencies. Chambers admitted to traveling from Watertown to Syracuse on January 30, 2024, to purchase one pound of methamphetamine and nine ounces of cocaine.
Chambers’ guilty plea came with a heavy price – he now faces a mandatory minimum federal prison sentence of 10 years and a maximum sentence of life. Additionally, he faces a fine of up to $8,000,000 and a term of supervised release of at least 8 years and up to life.
This is not Chambers’ first rodeo with the law. He has a previous conviction in federal court in the Middle District of Pennsylvania for possessing controlled substances with the intent to distribute.
The DEA is leading the investigation with assistance from the Pennsylvania State Police, Metro-Jefferson Drug Task Force, and the New York State Police-Special Investigations Unit – Syracuse. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jessica N. Carbone is prosecuting the case.
The sentencing hearing is scheduled for August 20, 2024, in Syracuse, where a judge will determine Chambers’ fate. The community is left wondering how this individual managed to evade the law for so long, but one thing is certain – justice will be served.
The United States Attorney’s Office is committed to keeping our communities safe from the scourge of drug trafficking. This case serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of attempting to possess and distribute controlled substances.
