KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Two women were charged yesterday in federal court for possession with intent to distribute approximately 13 pounds of methamphetamine.
Brittney N. Stanley, 32, and Christina L. M. Davis, 32, were charged by complaint with possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine. Stanley was also charged with possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.
On Aug. 6, 2025, following a car stop, Stanley and Davis were found in possession of approximately 13 pounds of suspected methamphetamine. Stanley was also found in possession of a loaded, Ruger 9mm handgun that was inside a backpack that was on Stanley’s lap when she was approached by law enforcement. The backpack also contained Stanley’s driver’s license. Inside the rear cargo-area of the SUV Stanley was driving, officers discovered two more handguns.
The charges contained in this complaint are simply accusations, and not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charges must be presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.
Under federal statutes, Stanley and Davis are subject to a sentence of up to up to life in federal prison without parole. The maximum statutory sentence is prescribed by Congress and is provided here for informational purposes, as the sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the court based on the advisory sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors. A sentencing hearing will be scheduled after the completion of a presentence investigation by the United States Probation Office.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Brad K. Kavanaugh. It was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Kansas City, Missouri Police Department.
