CAPE GIRARDEAU — The U.S. Attorney’s Office announced that Jammie Renfro, 35, of Kennett was sentenced to serve 130 months in federal prison for the offenses of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and distribution of methamphetamine.
Renfro appeared for his sentencing hearing Thursday before United States District Judge Stephen N. Limbaugh Jr. at the federal courthouse in Cape Girardeau, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
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, according to law enforcement. The case culminated in the execution of a search warrant at Schoolcraft’s residence in Kennett where officers seized over four pounds of methamphetamine.
This case was investigated by the Missouri State Highway Patrol, assisted by the Southeast Missouri Drug Task Force. Assistant U.S. Attorney Julie Hunter handled the prosecution for the government.
