Lindsay to 300 months in federal prison.  DEA Dallas Division’s Special Agent in Charge Clyde E.

According to documents filed in the case and statements made on the record at his sentencing hearing today, on June 3, 2016, law enforcement executed a search warrant at a storage unit located near an elementary school in Dallas, Texas.  A search of the unit resulted in the discovery of approximately 1.5 kilograms of methamphetamine, three firearms, and evidence of a laboratory used in the production of Gamma (GHB).
