Arizona Man Sentenced for Possessing More than Eight Pounds of Methamphetamine

TULSA, Okla. - A man from Phoenix, Arizona, was sentenced today after pleading guilty to Possession of Methamphetamine with Intent to Distribute, announced U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson.

U.S. District Judge John D. Russell sentenced Olajuwon Hasan Myers, 40, to 120 months imprisonment, followed by five years of supervised release.

In May 2025, Tulsa Police officers began investigating an individual suspected of transporting narcotics from Arizona to Oklahoma. While conducting surveillance, officers found the vehicle they believe was used to transport narcotics. Myers was seen getting into the vehicle and pulled over during a traffic stop. During the stop, a K9 officer conducted an open-air sniff and made a positive alert to their handler. While searching the vehicle, officers found more than eight pounds of methamphetamine in a hidden compartment.

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

The Tulsa Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Tyson McCoy and Niko Boulieris prosecuted the case.
