A woman from Mobile, Alabama, Desiree Rose Carlock, has been sentenced to 180 months in prison due to her involvement in a methamphetamine trafficking conspiracy and possession of a firearm related to drug trafficking offenses.
Court documents detailed Carlock's movements observed by narcotics agents in January 2024, where she traveled from Mobile to Pensacola, Florida, to obtain methamphetamine to sell. On February 21, 2024, agents confiscated almost a pound of methamphetamine and a loaded .380 caliber pistol from Carlock during a traffic stop. Carlock admitted to getting the methamphetamine from a supplier in Pensacola and distributing it in Mobile twice a week. Her cell phone contained incriminating text messages, photos, videos, and other information related to her drug activities.
Carlock was also arrested in April 2024 for methamphetamine possession on two occasions. On April 2, agents seized 21 grams of methamphetamine from her during a traffic stop. Later, on April 22, authorities found 349 grams of methamphetamine during another traffic stop.
As part of the sentence, U.S. District Judge Kristi K. DuBose mandated a five-year supervised release period for Carlock following her imprisonment, requiring drug testing and treatment. Judge DuBose also ordered Carlock to pay $200 in special assessments and surrendered her firearm, ammunition, and cell phone to the United States.
U.S. Attorney Sean P. Costello of the Southern District of Alabama announced the sentencing. The investigation was conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office, with substantial assistance from the Escambia County, Florida Sheriff’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Justin Roller prosecuted the case.
