Texarkana, Arkansas - Duane (DAK) Kees, United States
Attorney for the Western District of Arkansas, announced that Randy Caldwell,
age 41, of Texarkana, Arkansas, was sentenced last week to 168 months in
federal prison followed by five years of supervised release for one count of
Distribution of More Than 50 Grams of Methamphetamine. The Honorable Chief
Susan O. Hickey presided over the sentencing hearing in the United States
District Court in Texarkana.
According to court records, during the course of an
investigation into methamphetamine trafficking in the Western District of
Arkansas, the South Central Drug Task Force identified Caldwell as a
distributor of methamphetamine. In July of 2017, investigators arranged and
conducted a controlled purchase of methamphetamine from Caldwell. The
methamphetamine recovered was sent to the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory,
where it was confirmed to contain approximately 95 grams of actual
methamphetamine.
Caldwell was indicted by a federal grand jury in June 2018,
and entered a guilty plea in December 2018.
This case was investigated by Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI), and the South Central Drug Task Force. Assistant United
States Attorney Denis Dean prosecuted the case for the United States.
