阿拉巴马州 Altoona 男子贩运逾800克冰毒被判19年：重操旧业两度被搜出毒品
美国司法部阿拉巴马北区联邦检察官办公室2026年11月12日宣布，阿拉巴马州 Etowah 县 Altoona 市46岁男子 Phillip Trent Waldrop 因贩运冰毒被判处228个月、即19年联邦监禁。Waldrop 此前已就持有并意图分销冰毒及分销冰毒两项罪名认罪，判决由联邦地区法官 Liles C. Burke 作出。
据法庭文件，2023年春季约一个月内，联邦探员对 Waldrop 实施了多次受控购买，从他手中买到冰毒。探员据此取得搜查令，2023年5月16日搜查其住所，查获约270克冰毒。
约一年后，2024年4月，执法人员在 Waldrop 重操旧业后再次搜查其住所，又查获约560克冰毒。两次查获合计逾800克。
联邦检察官 Phillip W. Williams Jr. 表示，冰毒贩运助长成瘾、摧毁家庭并威胁社区安全，这项19年判决释放的信号是，靠危险毒品牟利者将面对严重后果。联邦调查局 FBI 伯明翰分局负责人 David R. Fitzgibbons 表示，此案显示 FBI 与地方伙伴合作打掉了一个重要的冰毒来源。

Alabama Man Sentenced to 19 Years for Trafficking Over 800 Grams of Methamphetamine
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Alabama announced on November 12, 2026, that Phillip Trent Waldrop, 46, of Altoona, in Etowah County, Alabama, was sentenced to 228 months, or 19 years, in federal prison for methamphetamine trafficking. Waldrop had pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and distribution of methamphetamine. U.S. District Court Judge Liles C. Burke imposed the sentence.
According to court documents, over a one-month period in the spring of 2023, federal agents conducted a series of controlled buys of methamphetamine from Waldrop. Those buys led agents to obtain a search warrant for his residence, executed on May 16, 2023, which resulted in agents finding approximately 270 grams of methamphetamine at his home.
A year later, in April 2024, officers again searched Waldrop's residence after he returned to selling drugs, seizing roughly 560 grams of methamphetamine. The two seizures totaled more than 800 grams.
U.S. Attorney Phillip W. Williams Jr. said methamphetamine trafficking fuels addiction, destroys families and threatens the safety of communities, and that the 19-year sentence sends a clear message that those who profit from dangerous drugs will face serious consequences. David R. Fitzgibbons, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI's Birmingham Division, said the investigation disrupted a significant source of methamphetamine.
