Kellyville Man Sentenced After Agents Discovered He Was Receiving Illegal Drugs Through the Mail

TULSA, Okla. - A Kellyville man was sentenced today for attempting to possess nearly a pound of methamphetamine for distribution and possessing a firearm while drug trafficking, announced U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson.

U.S. District Judge John F. Heil, III, sentenced Austin Dewayne Nation, 31, for Attempted Possession of Methamphetamine with Intent to Distribute and Possession of a Firearm in Furtherance of Drug Trafficking. Nation was ordered to serve 210 months imprisonment, followed by five years of supervised release.

Agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration Tulsa Resident Office and the Office of Inspector General for the U.S. Postal Service began a targeted investigation in 2025 regarding controlled substance distribution. The investigation revealed that Nation was receiving illegal narcotics through the mail. Nation received numerous parcels of mail in a 60-day period from out of state.

When a package was delivered to the post office, a K9 deputy with the Tulsa County Sheriff's alerted its handler that drugs were inside the parcel. Agents obtained a search warrant for the package and discovered more than 445 grams of methamphetamine disguised as counterfeit pills. Agents swapped the drugs out and allowed the package to be delivered. Agents saw Nation receive the package at his home and detained him. After agents obtained a search warrant for Nation's home in Kellyville, court records show they found additional drugs, scales, baggies, approximately $3,625 in cash, and two firearms.

Nation will remain in custody pending transfer to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.

The Drug Enforcement Administration Tulsa Resident Office, the Office of Inspector General for the U.S. Postal Service, the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office, the Tulsa Police Department, and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Tyson McCoy prosecuted the case.
