Muskogee Man Sentenced To 180 Months For Methamphetamine Distribution

MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA – The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma announced that Blake Alan Miller, age 34, of Muskogee, Oklahoma, was sentenced to 180 months imprisonment and 5 years supervised release for Possession With Intent To Distribute Methamphetamine, in violation of Title 21, United States Code, Sections 841(a)(1) and 841(b)(1)(B).

The Indictment, which arose from an investigation by the Muskogee Police Department, the United States Marshals Service, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, alleged that on or about March 7, 2017, within the Eastern District of Oklahoma, Miller knowingly and intentionally possessed, with intent to distribute, in excess of 50 grams of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine, a Schedule II controlled substance.

United States Attorney Brian J. Kuester said, “Dangerous drugs, including methamphetamine, are ruining lives, destroying families, and crippling communities. Drug dealers profit while the rest of society suffers as a result of their poison pedaling businesses. This multi-agency investigation prevented hundreds of dosage units from entering our community and untold hundreds or thousands more because of the disruption of Miller’s operation. I commend the law enforcement professionals that participated in the investigation.”

The Honorable Ronald A. White, U.S. District Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, in Muskogee, presided over the hearing. Assistant United States Attorney Dean Burris represented the United States. The defendant will remain in custody pending transportation to the designated federal facility at which the non-paroleable sentence will be served.
