El Dorado, Arkansas –
Duane (DAK) Kees, United States Attorney for the Western District of Arkansas,
announced today that Charles “Marty” Permenter, age 56, of El Dorado, Arkansas
was sentenced yesterday to 180 months in federal prison followed by three years
of supervised release, on one count of Conspiracy to Distribute
Methamphetamine. The Honorable Susan O. Hickey presided over the sentencing
hearing in the United States District Court in El Dorado.
According to court records, in February 2016, during an
investigation into the methamphetamine distribution in Union County, Arkansas,
the FBI and the FBI Task Force identified Permenter as a source of supply of
methamphetamine. During the
investigation, investigators were able to purchase methamphetamine from Permenter
on multiple occasions, utilizing a confidential informant. Additionally, information provided by
cooperating sources and independent law enforcement investigation showed that
Permenter knowingly conspired with co-conspirators and others to distribute
more than 1.5 kilograms of methamphetamine in Union County, Arkansas, and other
locations within the Western District of Arkansas.
Permenter was indicted by a federal grand jury in August
2016 and pled guilty in March 2017.
This case was investigated by The FBI and the FBI Task
Force. Assistant United States Attorneys
Ben Wulff and Graham Jones prosecuted the case for the United States.
