Montgomery Man Sentenced to 30 Years in Federal Prison for Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine Being Shipped Through the Mail

            MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA – On August 27, 2024, a federal judge ordered that 33-year-old Charles Green Hall, from Montgomery, Alabama, receive a sentence of 360 months in prison for conspiracy to possess methamphetamine with intent to distribute the illegal drug, announced Acting United States Attorney Kevin P. Davidson. Following his prison sentence, Hall will be on supervised release for five years. There is no parole in the federal system.

            According to Hall’s plea agreement and other court records, in March of 2021, federal agents began an investigation related to suspected drug and gang activity in Montgomery. The investigation revealed evidence indicating illegal narcotics were being mailed to Alabama from California. Agents worked with postal inspectors to identify and track two packages intended for Hall that were suspected to contain illegal drugs. When inspectors seized the packages, they found approximately two kilograms of suspected methamphetamine inside each one. Laboratory analysis of the contents confirmed that the packages together contained just over four kilograms of methamphetamine with a 98 percent purity level.

            During his plea hearing in May of this year, Hall admitted that he conspired with others to distribute and possess the methamphetamine. A federal grand jury also indicted former postal employee Amber Lashawne Sellers, 30, a resident of Montgomery, for her alleged role in the conspiracy. Sellers’ trial is scheduled for September 23, 2024. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

            The United States Postal Inspection Service, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Montgomery Police Department investigated this case. Assistant United States Attorneys Mark E. Andreu and Brandon W. Bates prosecuted the case.
