MARSHALL — A Marion County man has pleaded guilty in federal court in Marshall to drug violations. Travis Earl Shelton, 35, of Jefferson, pleaded guilty yesterday to possession of pseudoephedrine with the intent to manufacture methamphetamine today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Chad Everingham.
According to federal prosecutors, on July 20, 2009, Shelton purchased cold pills containing pseudoephedrine at a Walgreens in Marshall in addition to making two other purchases that same day at other stores in the area, all in furtherance of his methamphetamine manufacturing activities. A federal grand jury returned a 27-count indictment in May, charging Shelton with federal drug violations.
