At the time of the stop, the odor of marijuana, as well as a marijuana blunt could be observed in the ashtray of his vehicle.
During a search of Seeney’s vehicle investigators discovered a gift bag with two bags of methamphetamine. The substance was sent to the DEA Crime Lab and was confirmed to contain 54.5 grams of actual methamphetamine.
Seeney was indicted by a federal grand jury in September 2018, entered a guilty plea in December 2018.
This case was investigated by the Fourth Judicial District Taskforce. Assistant United States Attorney Amy Driver prosecuted the case for the United States.
