United States Attorney Roger B. Handberg announced that Jacksonville resident Robert Howard, III, also known as “Kenny Kapps,” has been charged with distributing large amounts of methamphetamine. He faces serious charges for distributing 50 grams or more of pure methamphetamine.
Howard, who is 22 years old, could face a minimum of 10 years in prison and possibly life in prison if convicted. The authorities also plan to take $2,250 from Howard, which they believe is connected to the drug sales.
An indictment is just a formal way of saying someone is accused of a crime. Everyone is considered innocent until proven guilty in court.
This case is the result of an investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the FBI, and the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. The case will be handled by Assistant United States Attorneys Aakash Singh and Kirwinn Mike.
This indictment is part of the efforts by the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) program. This program works to find and stop major criminal organizations that threaten the United States.
