Local man pleads guilty for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine

ST. LOUIS – United States District Court Judge John A. Ross accepted a plea of guilty from Adam Jones today.  A grand jury in the Eastern District of Missouri previously indicted Jones in February 2021.  Sentencing is scheduled for April 12, 2022. 

 

According to the plea agreement, on or about July 15, 2020, within the Eastern District of Missouri, Jones knowingly and intentionally possessed more than five (5) grams of actual methamphetamine and that at the time Jones possessed the actual methamphetamine, he intended to distribute some or all of the actual methamphetamine to another person. 

 

Beginning in May 2020, members of the St. Charles County Regional Drug Task Force (“SCCRDTF”) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) conducted a total of five undercover purchases of methamphetamine from Jones. SCCRDTF successfully introduced an undercover detective to Jones, who made the purchases of methamphetamine from Jones over an approximately 2-month period between May and July of 2020.  In addition, on July 15, 2020, Jones’ car was stopped by law enforcement and Jones was in possession of approximately one ounce of actual methamphetamine.

 

This case was investigated by the St. Charles County Regional Drug Task Force and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
