A Montgomery man has been convicted and sentenced to federal prison for his involvement in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine through the mail.
A federal judge has sentenced 33-year-old Charles Green Hall to 30 years in prison, according to Acting U.S. Attorney Kevin P. Davidson.
According to Hall’s plea agreement and other court records, federal agents initiated an investigation in March 2021 regarding suspected drug and gang activity in Montgomery.
During the investigation, it was discovered that illegal drugs were being shipped from California to Alabama. The agents collaborated with postal inspectors to trace two packages that were intended for Hall and were believed to contain illicit substances.
Authorities discovered around two kilograms of suspected methamphetamine in each of the confiscated packages. According to the U.S. attorney’s office, laboratory testing verified that the combined packages contained slightly over four kilograms of methamphetamine with a purity level of 98%.
During his plea hearing in May, Hall confessed to conspiring with others to distribute and possess methamphetamine.
A federal grand jury has indicted Amber Lashawne Sellers, a former postal worker from Montgomery, for her alleged involvement in the conspiracy. Her trial is set to take place on September 23. It is important to note that an indictment is simply an accusation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
After his sentence, Hall will be under supervision for five years. The federal system does not have parole.
The ATF, the Montgomery Police Department, and the United States Postal Inspection Service all looked into the case. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Mark E. Andreu and Brandon W. Bates were in charge of the prosecution.
