Kenneth Lee Camp, a prior felon and identified gang member, was sentenced on March 31 for his role in distributing methamphetamine in Tulsa, according to U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson.
Camp, 44, of Tulsa, pleaded guilty to Drug Conspiracy and received a sentence of 180 months imprisonment followed by five years of supervised release from U.S. District Judge Gregory K. Frizzell.
The sentencing marks the conclusion of a case that began with an investigation into methamphetamine trafficking across state lines into Tulsa in 2022. Authorities found that Camp was a high-ranking member of the Indian Brotherhood and conspired with co-defendants Jeremiah Jacob James Harper and Billy Gene Talley to distribute the drug. A search warrant executed at the home shared by Camp and Harper led law enforcement to seize more than two pounds of methamphetamine, $2,800 in cash, firearms, ammunition, and several cellphones containing drug-related conversations among the defendants.
Court records indicate that Camp has an extensive criminal record. During the investigation for this crime, he faced additional charges for assaulting a pregnant woman and obstructing a police officer. After being previously released on bond, Camp was taken into custody following his sentencing pending transfer to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.
Harper pleaded guilty to Distribution of Methamphetamine and Unlawful Use of Communication Facility; he was sentenced on March 2 to serve 60 months imprisonment with four years supervised release. Talley pleaded guilty to Drug Conspiracy; he received a sentence on March 16 totaling 120 months imprisonment with five years supervised release.
The case was investigated by the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Tulsa Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Niko Boulieris prosecuted.
