A Springfield, Missouri man has been convicted for his role in a methamphetamine distribution conspiracy. Jeremy Moran Chambers, 47, was found guilty by a jury of several charges including conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking offense, and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

The verdict followed three days of evidence presented at the U.S. District Court in Springfield. The jury deliberated for just over two hours before delivering their decision to U.S. District Judge Brian C. Wimes on August 20, 2025.

According to court records, Chambers and others conspired from December 1, 2020 through October 12, 2022 to sell and distribute methamphetamine. On July 22, 2021, police executed a search warrant at Chambers’ trailer where they found half a pound of methamphetamine and firearms. During an interview with officers, Chambers admitted he was exchanging methamphetamine for firearms.

Five other individuals have pleaded guilty for their involvement in the same conspiracy. Dusty Lescard, Anne Currie, and Tameka Farmer are awaiting sentencing while Tilton Tate and Erik Foster have already been sentenced to prison terms of 146 months and 215 months respectively.

Chambers faces a minimum sentence of fifteen years in federal prison without parole and could receive up to life imprisonment as prescribed by federal law. Sentencing will be determined by the court after completion of a presentence investigation conducted by the United States Probation Office.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Tony Brown and Special Assistant United States Attorney Hannah Lucas are prosecuting the case which was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation along with the Springfield Police Department.

This prosecution is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) operation aimed at disrupting major criminal organizations through coordinated efforts between multiple agencies led by prosecutors using intelligence-driven strategies.
