Jeremy David Crawley, a 47-year-old resident of McAlester, Oklahoma, has been sentenced to 180 months in prison for drug conspiracy. This sentencing was announced by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma.
The investigation leading to Crawley's charges involved collaboration between the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Pittsburg County Sheriff’s Department, and the McAlester Police Department. Crawley had pleaded guilty on September 4, 2024. According to investigators, he conspired with others to obtain and distribute over 100 pounds of methamphetamine from 2019 until December 2022.
Eduardo A. Chávez, Special Agent in Charge of DEA operations in Oklahoma, commented on the case: “Today’s sentencing of Jeremy David Crawley reflects a win for all citizens of Eastern Oklahoma who value safe and drug-free communities.” He added that efforts would continue with law enforcement partners across the state.
United States Attorney Christopher J. Wilson remarked on Crawley's decision prior to indictment: “Prior to being indicted, the defendant chose to quit selling and using methamphetamine—an admirable decision, but not one that erases the past nor lessens the impact of his actions.” He emphasized that justice requires accountability for actions related to methamphetamine's destructive impact.
The sentence was handed down by Chief U.S. District Judge Ronald A. White at a hearing in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Crawley will remain in custody awaiting transportation to a designated Bureau of Prisons facility where he will serve his non-paroleable sentence.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Erin Cornell represented the United States in this case.
