Another defendant, Cody Stonehouse, who was 32 years old at the time of his guilty plea, will begin serving a term of sixty months beginning in July of 2021.

On October 9, 2020, agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration allegedly witnessed Stonehouse sell 40 grams of meth to a third party. This information comes from the United States Department of Justice. After observing Stonehouse execute a transaction just like it in December of the following year, agents decided to make an arrest. Methamphetamine was found in Stonehouse’s possession at the time of the incident, according to the investigators.

According to the investigators, Goode was Stonehouse’s source for the drugs. During a subsequent traffic stop, the police were able to detain Goode; during the course of the investigation, Goode admitted to supplying Stonehouse with drugs.
