OKLAHOMA CITY - Federal prosecutors have charged three Oklahoma City men accused of conspiring to distribute nearly 180 pounds of methamphetamine following a multi-agency investigation in northeast Oklahoma City.

According to the United States Attorney's Office for the Western District of Oklahoma, 47-year-old Eltramane Neal, 43-year-old Willie Jefferson Jr., and 44-year-old Donte Parker were charged by criminal complaint with conspiracy to possess 500 grams or more of methamphetamine with intent to distribute.

Court documents state that on May 14, 2026, investigators conducting surveillance observed Jefferson and Parker meeting at a residence in northeast Oklahoma City.

Authorities said Neal later arrived at the home, where investigators observed Neal and Parker loading a black tote into Neal’s vehicle.

After Neal left the residence, law enforcement conducted a traffic stop and searched the vehicle, recovering approximately 99 pounds of methamphetamine, most of it located inside the black tote, according to prosecutors.

While officers secured a search warrant for the residence, investigators stopped Jefferson and allegedly found a key to the residence along with a large amount of cash.

During the execution of the search warrant, authorities said investigators recovered an additional 80 pounds of methamphetamine from the residence.

Federal prosecutors said all three defendants appeared in federal court Thursday afternoon.

If convicted, each man faces a maximum sentence of life in federal prison and fines of up to $10 million.

Officials emphasized the charges are allegations and the defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

The investigation involved the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives, and the Oklahoma City Police Department.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Matt Anderson is prosecuting the case.
