United States Attorney Richard W. Moore of the Southern District of Alabama announced that Charles Raymond Stagner, 36, of Saraland, Alabama, was sentenced in federal court on his conviction on two counts of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. Stagner was convicted by a jury following a trial in June of 2018. Evidence from the trial showed that Stagner sold methamphetamine to a confidential informant working with the Saraland Police Department, and when officers obtained a search warrant for his residence, they found additional quantities of methamphetamine, scales and other drug paraphernalia. Court documents reflect that Stagner’s prior federal conviction for conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine occurred in 2009.
United States District Court Judge William H. Steele imposed a sentence of 132 months imprisonment on each count, with the sentences to run concurrently. When Stagner is released from prison, he will serve eight years of supervised release. As conditions of his supervised release, the judge ordered that Stagner would receive drug and alcohol treatment as well as mental health counseling. No fine was imposed but Stagner was ordered to pay $200 in special mandatory assessments.
The case was investigated by the Saraland Police Department, the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office and the Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Investigations. It was prosecuted in the United States Attorney’s Office by AUSA Gloria A. Bedwell.
