Description: Tulsa, OK - Drug conspiracy criminal defense lawyer represented Defendant, Charles Dean Studie, age 36, who was charged with drug conspiracy, felon in possession of a firearm, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.
“Methamphetamine continues to be Oklahoma’s most deadly drug, and Charles Studie contributed to that problem,” said U.S. Attorney Trent Shores. “The Tulsa Housing Authority Community Enhancement Unit and DEA combined forces to bring accountability to this drug trafficker. Our community is better off with Charles Studie off the streets and his methamphetamine supply cut off.”
In his plea agreement, Studie admitted that beginning in June 2019, he knowingly and intentionally conspired with others to possess methamphetamine with intent to distribute the deadly drug. He provided methamphetamine and cash to other individuals to promote and further their drug dealing operation, which was being staged out of Tulsa public housing. Studie’s participation required the participation, direction, and action of others, and all parties worked together for their shared mutual benefit. Further, Studie, a felon, admitted that beginning on November 22, 2019, he knowingly possessed a Jennings .25 auto caliber semi-automatic pistol and a Jimenez, .22 LR caliber semi-automatic pistol, in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.
“Methamphetamine continues to negatively impact the citizens of Oklahoma. The conviction of Charles Studie is another step forward in ridding the streets of individuals who would sell this destructive drug that has destroyed Oklahoma lives for decades,” said Tulsa County Sheriff Vic Regalado. “I am proud of the work of our deputies who make up the Tulsa Housing Authority Community Enhancement Unit and I am equally proud of our partnership with the U.S. Attorney’s office and the DEA.”
Tulsa County Sheriff’s Deputies that make up the Tulsa Housing Authority Community Enhancement Unit pursued this investigation as part of their responsibility to ensure the safety and security of the families that live within the Tulsa Housing Authority complexes. The Community Enhancement Unit (CEU) was created through a partnership between the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office and the Tulsa Housing Authority.
The Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office and Drug Enforcement Administration conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Nassar and Aimee Cooper are prosecuting the case.
