“Mr. Stolts is facing a significant amount of prison time for his possession and distribution of a large amount of methamphetamine,” said Hanaway. “I would especially like to commend the Jefferson County Narcotics Task Force and its leader Sheriff Glenn Boyer, who spend a significant amount of time finding and dismantling methamphetamine laboratories. With their assistance, we will make every effort to prosecute people who manufacture this dangerous drug.”

“I would like to commend the U.S. Attorney’s Office for their outstanding efforts. This conviction exemplifies the continuing cooperation between our offices,” added Sheriff Boyer.
