Muskogee Resident Sentenced For Possession With Intent To Distribute Methamphetamine

MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA – The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma announced that Dacario Larome Stancle, age 27, of Muskogee, Oklahoma, was sentenced to 120 months in prison for one count of Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine.

The charge arose from an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Muskogee Police Department.

On March 12, 2025, Stancle pleaded guilty to the charge.  According to investigators, on October 26, 2024, Stancle knowingly and intentionally possessed 500 grams or more of a detectable amount of methamphetamine, a Schedule II controlled substance, intending to distribute it.

On March 12, 2025, Stancle pleaded guilty to the charge.  According to investigators, on October 26, 2024, law enforcement attempted to conduct a traffic stop on Stancle’s SUV at the intersection of Junction and Broadway in Muskogee when Stancle evaded officers, running four stop signs at speeds exceeding 80 miles per hour before crashing into a wooded area.  Stancle attempted to flee on foot but was apprehended by officers.  At the crash site, officers discovered a bag containing approximately 843 grams of methamphetamine, which Stancle later admitted to purchasing for distribution.

This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.

The Honorable John C. Coughenour, U.S. District Judge in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington, sitting by assignment, presided over the hearing.  Stancle will remain in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service pending transportation to a designated United States Bureau of Prisons facility to serve a non-paroleable sentence of incarceration.
