Background

Angela Reynolds was one of 19 individuals indicted in 2016 as part of a major federal investigation into a methamphetamine distribution ring operating in the Dallas, Texas area.

The Case

In May 2016, Reynolds was sentenced to nearly 23 years (275 months) in federal prison for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute a controlled substance. The investigation, which targeted a drug ring based in Pleasant Grove, Seagoville, and Balch Springs, resulted in the seizure of approximately 15 pounds of methamphetamine and 30 pounds of methamphetamine oil. Reynolds was charged with participating in the distribution network that funneled large quantities of the drug throughout North Texas. Her lengthy sentence was a result of federal drug laws that impose heavy penalties for conspiracies involving high volumes of methamphetamine. Reynolds served approximately 10 years of her sentence before receiving clemency.

The Pardon

On January 15, 2026, President Trump granted Reynolds a commutation of sentence.
