An Afton man has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for possessing methamphetamine with intent to distribute, according to an announcement from U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson.
U.S. District Judge Gregory K. Frizzell handed down the sentence to Zackery True Huddleston, 38, who will also serve four years of supervised release after his imprisonment.
The case began in June 2025 when Bixby Police responded to a car accident that resulted in injuries. Witnesses informed officers that a man, later identified as Huddleston, left the scene on foot. When police tried to question him, he fled and led officers on a chase through a residential area before being apprehended.
During booking at the station, Huddleston reportedly became emotional and said, “I don’t want to go back to prison.” When asked why he would return to prison, Huddleston replied, “the dope.” Officers then searched his vehicle and discovered more than a pound of methamphetamine along with his driver’s license and marijuana card.
Records indicate that Huddleston had previously pleaded guilty in multiple state cases involving felonies such as manufacturing controlled substances, possessing a stolen vehicle, and second-degree burglary. A suspended sentence he received was revoked due to non-compliance.
Huddleston will remain in custody until he is transferred to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
The investigation involved the Broken Arrow Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration. Assistant U.S. Attorney George Jiang prosecuted the case.
