The US Department of Justice reported, in a release, that Plummer admitted to distributing meth seven times, and four of those times were within 1,000 feet of schools — like Mater Dei Elementary and Hunt Elementary.
In May 2023, law enforcement claimed they search Plummer's home and found 271.7 grams of pure methamphetamine, 155.6 grams of cocaine, 31.6 grams of suspected MDMA, 55.1 grams of suspected marijuana, 37.9 grams of suspected cocaine, two bags of THC gummies, and two vape pens.
After pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, one count of distribution of methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a school, and a count of distributing methamphetamine, Plummer was sentenced to 120 months in prison with 10 years of supervised release.
