Rolla man gets 15 years in prison for possession, intent to distribute meth

A Rolla man pled guilty to possession of methamphetamine with the intent to distribute on Thursday.

Ronald Robison, 38, of Rolla, was sentenced to 15 years in the Department of Corrections.

The evidence for the case was that South Central Drug Task Force officers, assisted by other county law enforcement officers, executed a search warrant at Robison’s home in Phelps County. When they got to Robison’s house, Robison had left the residence and went to an RV located on the property.

Several baggies of methamphetamine were located throughout the house, along with scales and baggies used to sell narcotics.

Officers went to the RV, where they found a loaded 9MM assault rifle and a large amount of crystal methamphetamine. Robison was hiding under the RV.

“Here is another case where the South Central Drug Task Force got another dangerous meth dealer off the streets. I shudder to think of the number of lives ruined by Ronald Robison and his kind,” said Phelps County Prosecuting Attorney Brendon Fox.

Because Robison was sentenced as a persistent drug offender, he is ineligible for probation or parole. “He will serve every single day of that 15-year sentence,” said Fox.
