Four men involved in a methamphetamine trafficking scheme that spanned Southern Indiana and Northern Kentucky have been sentenced. Seroy A. Mobley, the group’s leader and a resident of Evansville, Indiana, was sentenced to 200 months in federal prison. Between January and June of 2018, Mobley worked with Carl Kirkland, Seneca Binder, and Eric Wilkerson to distribute methamphetamine. Kirkland shipped the drugs from California to Evansville via U.S. mail, and Mobley sold the drugs to Binder and Wilkerson, who distributed them in the Evansville and Whitestown, Kentucky, communities.
When officers from the Evansville Police Department searched Mobley’s residence, they found a .38 caliber revolver, two digital scales, and 384 grams of meth in an infant’s room. Mobley was not allowed to possess a firearm due to a previous state conviction for cocaine possession and a federal conviction for armed drug trafficking. He was still serving his federal supervised release sentence when he was arrested for his role in the conspiracy.
The Drug Enforcement Administration and Evansville Police Department seized 25 pounds of methamphetamine and a .38 caliber revolver involved in the conspiracy.
All four defendants have been sentenced. Mobley received 16.6 years’ imprisonment, five years of supervised release, and three years of license revocation for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and illegally possessing a firearm. Kirkland, a resident of Antioch, California, received 10 years’ imprisonment and five years of supervised release for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. Binder and Wilkerson, residents of Evansville, IN, and Whitestown, Kentucky, received 10 and 15 years’ imprisonment, respectively, for conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine. All four defendants also face substantial fines.
