Two Get Prison Time On Meth Related Charges

August 24, 2013

Two Escambia County residents have been sentenced to prison on meth related charges.

Vincent Christian Foster and Lindsey Rene Temple were sentenced on charges of trafficking in methamphetamine, possession with the intent to sell, manufacture or deliver methamphetamine, unlawful possession of listed chemical and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Judge Scott Duncan sentenced Foster to  25 years in state prison and Temple to 10 years.  They will each have  to serve seven years as a mandatory minimum for trafficking and were each ordered to pay a $100,000 fine. The pair was convicted earlier this year by an Escambia County jury.

The charges stem from an ongoing investigation which included surveillance of an Escambia County home. On May 24, 2012, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Unit arrived at Foster’s home with a warrant for his arrest.

Upon entering the home, there was an overwhelming odor of anhydrous ammonia which is an indication of  the production of methamphetamine.  The narcotics unit obtained a search warrant and located an active methamphetamine cooking lab.  Trafficking amounts of methamphetamine oil and pseudoephedrine were located throughout the house.
