CAPE GIRARDEAU –A Kennett man was sentenced Thursday to more than 10 years in federal prison. The United States Attorney’s Office announced that 35 year old Jammie Renfro was sentenced for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and distribution of methamphetamine.
Renfro appeared before United States District Judge Stephen N. Limbaugh, Jr. at the federal courthouse in Cape Girardeau.
At a guilty plea hearing in April, Renfro admitted that beginning in May 2022, and continuing through June 23, 2022, he and another were working with John Andrew Schoolcraft to distribute methamphetamine throughout Dunklin County.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol utilized confidential informants and audio and video recording devices to conduct controlled drug buys of methamphetamine from Renfro and the others involved. The case culminated in the execution of a search warrant at Schoolcraft’s residence in Kennett where officers seized over four pounds of methamphetamine.
Schoolcraft is serving a 15 year prison sentence.
