WICHITA, KAN. – Richard H. Adams, IV, 29, was sentenced to 12-years in prison after pleading guilty to Possession with the Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine, a Class A felony, according to the United State's Attorney.

In 2019, a state trooper pulled Adams over in Nebraska for speeding, according to court documents.

A search of the vehicle yielded the discovery of what was later determined to be at least 2,200 grams of methamphetamine. Troopers also found two loaded firearms belonging to Adams and $11,300 in U.S. currency. Adams admitted he planned to transport the methamphetamine to Wichita, Kansas, for distribution.
