Sentencing in five-year Eufaula-area drug case


Julian Darnell Woodard, 33, an inmate at the state prison in McAlester, was sentenced to 120 months in federal prison Wednesday.

It is to be followed by 60 months of supervised release.

He is a co-defendant in the March 12, 2008, federal grand jury indictment of 14 defendants, said U.S. Attorney Sheldon Sperling.

Ten men and four women were charged in a Eufaula-area drug conspiracy that extended over the past five years, Sperling said. The conspiracy involved methamphetamine, cocaine, and crack, he said.

Woodard will remain in the custody of the U.S. Marshal Service pending transportation to a designated federal prison.
