Texarkana, Arkansas - Duane (DAK) Kees, United States
Attorney for the Western District of Arkansas, announced that Christopher
Whistle, age 40, of Texarkana, Arkansas, was sentenced today to 100 months in
federal prison followed by three years of supervised release on one count of
Distribution of Methamphetamine. The Honorable Susan O. Hickey presided over
the sentencing hearing in the United States District Court in Texarkana.
According to court records, in December 2015, agents with
the Bi-State Narcotics Task Force (BSNTF) and the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) began an investigation into methamphetamine distribution in
the Texarkana area. This investigation allowed law enforcement to identify
Whistle as a distributer of methamphetamine in the area. After learning this,
agents with the BSNTF and the FBI conducted a controlled purchase of
methamphetamine from Whistle. The methamphetamine was sent to the Arkansas
State Crime Laboratory for analysis. The substance was determined 11.57 grams
of actual methamphetamine.
Whistle was indicted by a federal grand jury in December
2015, and entered a guilty plea to distribution of methamphetamine in December
2017.
This case was investigated by Bi-State Narcotics Task Force
and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Brice
White prosecuted the case for the United States.
