Court Sentences Mobile County Man to 14 Years in Prison for Methamphetamine Trafficking

MOBILE, AL – On December 1, 2025, United States District Court Chief Judge Jeffrey U. Beaverstock sentenced Charlie Alexander Hall to 168 months’ imprisonment for Conspiracy to Traffic Methamphetamine after Hall agreed to sell undercover agents approximately 8.5 ounces of methamphetamine for $2000 in May 2024.

Court documents show that law enforcement surveilled Hall at his home in Semmes, Alabama, where he placed a 5-gallon bucket containing the methamphetamine he was planning to sell in his vehicle.  Surveillance continued after Hall left his residence with the methamphetamine.  Officers attempted to stop Hall for a traffic infraction, and he accelerated, driving through a residential area at speeds greater than 100 MPH.  Hall threw the 5-gallon bucket containing the methamphetamine out of his car and the bucket opened, spreading the methamphetamine across the road.

The chase continued at speeds over 100 MPH until Hall stopped and was apprehended with the assistance of a canine.  Law enforcement recovered the bucket and approximately 1,275 grams of methamphetamine from the roadway.  The same day, law enforcement also executed a search warrant at Hall’s home and recovered approximately 1 more kilogram of methamphetamine in a similar 5-gallon bucket behind the home.

U.S. Attorney Sean P. Costello of the Southern District of Alabama made the announcement.

The Drug Enforcement Administration, Department of Homeland Security - Homeland Security Investigations, and the Mobile County Sherriff’s Office - Narcotics Unit investigated the case.

Assistant U.S. Attorneys George May prosecuted the case on behalf of the United States.

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.
