Background
Angela Wannette Cupit was convicted in the Northern District of Texas in 2016 for her role in a methamphetamine distribution conspiracy.
The Case
In January 2016, Cupit was sentenced to 30 years (360 months) in federal prison for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute a controlled substance. Like others sentenced in similar North Texas drug sweeps during that period, Cupit's conviction involved the large-scale distribution of methamphetamine. Federal prosecutors emphasized the scope of the conspiracy and the volume of drugs involved, which triggered significant mandatory minimums and sentencing enhancements. Cupit had served approximately 10 years of her 30-year sentence at the time of her commutation.
The Pardon
On January 15, 2026, President Trump granted Cupit a commutation of sentence.
