McAlester man sentenced to prison for federal drug conspiracy

Jeremy David Crawley, a 47-year-old resident of McAlester, Oklahoma, has been sentenced to 180 months in prison for his involvement in a drug conspiracy. The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma announced the sentence following an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Pittsburg County Sheriff’s Department, and the McAlester Police Department.

Crawley pleaded guilty on September 4, 2024, to conspiring with others to obtain and distribute over 100 pounds of methamphetamine between 2019 and December 2022. Eduardo A. Chávez, Special Agent in Charge of DEA operations in Oklahoma, commented on the sentencing: “Today’s sentencing of Jeremy David Crawley reflects a win for all citizens of Eastern Oklahoma who value safe and drug-free communities. We will continue to work hand in hand with our law enforcement partners across the state to ensure justice is served.”

United States Attorney Christopher J. Wilson stated: “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. Methamphetamine is a scourge which destroys lives, families, and relationships. Justice demands accountability, and the sentence imposed by the Court holds the defendant responsible for his crimes.”

The Honorable Ronald A. White presided over Crawley's hearing at the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma. Crawley will remain in custody pending 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 during this case.
