Court documents show that during a traffic stop on April 14, 2026, after a K9 alerted to narcotics, law enforcement discovered and seized over 1,800 grams of methamphetamine in Elmore's vehicle. Officers then reviewed his cellphone under a search warrant and found evidence of drug distribution.
Elmore faces a minimum mandatory 10 years in prison up to life imprisonment on both counts. Sentencing is scheduled for January 14, 2027, at 2:00 p.m. at the U.S. Courthouse in Pensacola before U.S. District Judge T. Kent Wetherell II.
The case was investigated jointly by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Crestview Police Department, and the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office, and is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jessica S. Etherton and Thomas S.P. Geeker. U.S. Attorney John P. Heekin said the agencies are unified in their commitment to eradicating methamphetamine from their communities.
