Kansas Man Sentenced to 25 Years for Trafficking Meth

TOPEKA, Kan. - A Kansas man was sentenced today to 25 years in prison for charges related to drug trafficking and illegal firearms.

According to court documents, Christian Michael Woodruff, 33, of Topeka, Kansas, pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

In February 2023, the DEA received information that Woodruff was selling meth from his home in Topeka. Following an investigation, law enforcement executed a search warrant at Woodruff's residence while he was there. Agents found 1,190.1 grams of meth that lab tests later revealed to be 98 percent pure, as well as multiple guns, ammunition and a silencer.

The DEA investigated this case with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and Shawnee County (Kan.) Sheriff's Office.
