U.S. Attorney Christopher A. Crofts announced today that Casper resident Harold "Creature" Creighton has been convicted in federal court. A jury found Creighton guilty of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine after a five-day jury trial in the United States District Court in Casper. Creighton will be sentenced at a later date by Federal District Court Judge Scott W. Skavdahl. Creighton faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
This case results from an ongoing Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) joint investigation conducted by the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. The principal mission of the OCDETF program is to identify, disrupt and dismantle the most serious drug trafficking, weapons trafficking and money laundering organizations, and those primarily responsible for the nation’s illegal drug supply.
This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephanie I. Sprecher.
