BUFFALO, N.Y. – Acting Special Agent in Charge Keith Kruskall, New York Division, U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, and U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr. announced today that Beau K.C. Jones, 34, of Jamestown, NY, who was convicted of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute, and distribution of, 50 grams or more of methamphetamine, was sentenced to serve 100 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Lawrence J.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Laura Higgins, who is handling the case, stated that the defendant was arrested on Dec. 1, 2016, along with his brother Matthew S.

Shortly after the delivery, Beau K.C. Jones was arrested during a car stop by police and the parcel containing the methamphetamine was discovered in the backseat of his vehicle. Matthew S. Jones was arrested later that day during a separate car stop. A safe was found in the trunk of his car containing an additional quantity of approximately 80 grams of methamphetamine.
Matthew S. Jones was previously convicted and also sentenced to serve 100 months in prison.
Today’s sentencing is the result of an investigation by the DEA Buffalo Resident Office and the Jamestown Police Department.
