Senior United States District Judge Malcolm J. Howard sentenced Moody, 47, of Weldon, today in Greenville.

Howard ordered Moody to serve 72 months in prison followed by five years of supervised release for conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute 5 kilograms or more of cocaine and 50 kilograms or more of marijuana following a 2014 DEA sting.

Moody previously pled guilty to the charge in August of last year.

The charge reflects Moody met with an informant to purchase kilograms of cocaine for $36,000 per kilogram.

Moody told the informant he had enough money nearby to purchase two additional kilograms of cocaine.

Upon Moody's arrest, investigators seized $68,000 from his vehicle. They also seized $71,867 and two handguns from his residence.

The investigation revealed Moody was responsible for distributing 158 kilograms of cocaine and 90 kilograms of marijuana.

The investigation of this case was conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office.

"We continue to work cases on the federal level and more arrests are to come," Sheriff Wes Tripp said.

The federal prosecution was handled by Special Assistant United States Attorney Glenn Perry.
