Lorain man sentenced to 14 years for possessing methamphetamine, being a felon in possession of a firearm

U.S. Attorney Rebecca C. Lutzko announced recently that Brandon O. Chambers, 41, of Lorain, was sentenced to 168 months (14 years) in prison by U.S. District Judge Solomon Oliver after a jury convicted Chambers of one count of possessing methamphetamine with intent to distribute and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

According to court documents and trial testimony, on Oct. 28, 2021, Avon patrol officers stopped Chambers’ vehicle for speeding and having no license plates. 

Following his arrest, police found a firearm in Chambers’ vehicle, along with approximately 218.7 grams of 99-percent pure methamphetamine. Chambers has multiple prior felony convictions and is therefore prohibited from possession of firearms.

The investigation preceding the indictment was conducted by Avon Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration. This case is prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Payum Doroodian and Vanessa Healy.
