Court Sentences Mobile County Woman for Methamphetamine Trafficking

MOBILE, AL – On October 24, 2023, United States District Court Judge, Terry F. Moorer, sentenced Brittany Theresa Pugh, of Wilmer, Alabama, to 35 months imprisonment for conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute methamphetamine. 

Documents filed with the Court established that on December 26, 2020, the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office on-call detective for narcotics was called to an area of Eight Mile, Alabama where he learned that other deputies from the Mobile County Sheriff’s Department had been engaged in an extended pursuit of a black Chevrolet pick-up, occupied by the two persons. Pugh was a passenger in the vehicle, and she fled on foot during the pursuit from law enforcement.  Pugh was caught by law enforcement and found to be in possession of twenty-six grams of ICE methamphetamine, $7,878.00 in U.S. Currency, a small baggie of marijuana, multiple packages of suboxone stripes, a glass pipe with tubing, and digital scales commonly used to weigh drugs. 

On March 4, 2021, the defendant was again stopped in a vehicle by deputies of the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office. This time Pugh was driving the vehicle and she had two passengers. Found in the vehicle were approximately thirty grams of ICE methamphetamine, a small baggie of marijuana, and a glass pipe with tubing. One of the passengers in the vehicle admitted that she had been purchasing methamphetamine from Pugh. 

Court documents also revealed that Pugh was a passenger in another vehicle stopped in June of 2020 in Mobile County where law enforcement found methamphetamine in the vehicle.

The case was investigated by the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney George F. May.
