A Joplin man referred to in an Ozark Drug Enforcement Task Force news release as a member of the Joplin Honkeys gang pleaded guilty this morning in U. S. District Court in Springfield to a meth conspiracy charge.
According to the plea agreement, Randy Forsythe, 52. sold a total of 58.3 grams of methamphetamine to an undercover officer June 3, June 19 and June 21 2019 in Newton County.
As part of the plea agreement, a second conspiracy charge, two trafficking charges and a weapons charge will be dismissed.
Judge David P. Rush ordered a pre-sentence investigation. No date has been set for sentencing.
The Ozarks Drug Enforcement Team and Jasper County Sheriff's Office SWAT arrested Forsythe December 4, 2019, following the execution of a search warrant at 1926 County Road 155, Carthage. Two suspects, including Forsythe, were arrested following a one-hour standoff.
