SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Jeremy David Dosier, 26, of Stockton, was sentenced today to 10 years in prison for possession with intent to distribute at least 500 grams of methamphetamine, U.S. Attorney Phillip A. Talbert and Drug Enforcement Administration Acting Special Agent in Charge Bob P. Beris announced.

According to court documents, in August 2020, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Dosier’s home in in Stockton and found Dosier in the bathroom destroying a large quantity of methamphetamine in the bathtub by turning on the faucet and breaking off the faucet. Agents were able to recover 3.5 pounds of methamphetamine. Next to the bathtub were several open bags that had contained the methamphetamine the defendant destroyed. On Oct. 14, 2022, Dosier pleaded guilty and admitted that he had possessed approximately 10-13 pounds of methamphetamine before agents arrived at his house.

During the search of Dosier’s residence, agents also seized a loaded 9 mm pistol under a couch cushion and $11,830 in cash.

This case was the product of an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the San Joaquin County Metro Task Force. Assistant U.S. Attorney Cameron Desmond prosecuted the case.
