William C. Crank II, Methamphetamine Distribution, Missouri 2014

A Rolla, MO man has been sentenced to 28 months in prison for his role in distributing methamphetamine in Phelps County.

William C. Crank II appeared in federal court in St. Louis on March and April 2014 for his involvement in the distribution of the illicit substance.

The South Central Drug Task Force investigated the case, with Assistant United States Attorney John Mantovani handling the prosecution for the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Crank II was sentenced by United States District Judge John Ross, who ordered him to serve 28 months in prison for his crimes.

The investigation and subsequent prosecution of Crank II serve as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to combat illicit drug trafficking in Missouri and beyond.

Crank II’s sentence is a result of his involvement in the distribution of methamphetamine, a highly addictive and destructive substance that has devastating consequences for individuals and communities.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office and its law enforcement partners remain committed to disrupting and dismantling the networks that facilitate the distribution of illicit substances.

In this case, Crank II’s prison sentence is a significant consequence for his role in perpetuating the methamphetamine epidemic in Missouri.
