BUFFALO – U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr.<\/strong> announced Tuesday, April 24 that Matthew Jones<\/strong>, 33, and Beau Jones<\/strong>, 31, both of Jamestown, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Lawrence J. Vilardo<\/strong> to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute, and distribution of, methamphetamine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Matthew Jones pleaded guilty to a conspiracy involving five grams or more of methamphetamine and faces a minimum penalty of five years in prison, a maximum of 40 years, and a $5,000,000 fine.<\/p>\n

His brother, Beau Jones, pleaded guilty to a conspiracy involving 50 grams or more of methamphetamine and faces a minimum penalty of 10 years in prison, a maximum of life, and a $10,000,000 fine.<\/p>\n

Assistant U.S. Attorney Laura Higgins<\/strong>, who is handling the case, stated that the defendants were arrested on December 1, 2016, after a shipment of more than 360 grams of methamphetamine was delivered, via the U.S. mail, to the brothers at Matthew Jones\u2019 residence at 70 Colfax in Jamestown.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the delivery, Beau Jones was arrested during a car stop by police and the parcel containing the methamphetamine was discovered in the backseat of his vehicle. Matthew Jones was arrested later that day during a separate car stop. A safe was found in the trunk of his car containing an additional quantity of approximately 80 grams of methamphetamine.<\/p>\n

The pleas are the result of an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration<\/strong>, under the direction of James J. Hunt<\/strong>, Special Agent-in-Charge, New York Field Division; and the Jamestown Police Department<\/strong>, under the direction of Chief Harry Snellings.<\/p>\n

Sentencing for Matthew Jones is scheduled for July 30<\/span>. Sentencing for Beau Jones is schedule for August 7<\/span>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
