A US District judge on Tuesday sentenced a Kennett man caught with nearly two pounds of methamphetamine and other drugs to 10 years in prison.
According to the US Attorney, during a traffic stop in November 2022, near Advance, a deputy with the Stoddard County Sheriff’s Office spotted Lee Roy Foley III trying to conceal a bag containing an assortment of pills. Foley was also driving with a suspended license. The deputy arrested Foley, and discovered 849 grams of meth, about two pounds of marijuana and two chocolate bars containing a psychedelic. Foley admitted engaging in the drug trade in southeast Missouri.
Foley pleaded guilty in January in U.S. District Court in Cape Girardeau to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
