ROCKWALL, Texas — A North Texas meth trafficker was sentenced to 16 years and eight months after pleading guilty to charges for distributing meth, according to federal officials.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) said 35-year-old Levi Chamberlin Hardcastle, of Rockwall, pleaded guilty in February to the methamphetamine trafficking charges. Hardcastle, an admitted member of the Peckerwoods, a white supremacist gang, was indicted in April 2022 alongside eight other individuals for an array of federal crimes all tied to methamphetamine trafficking.
Those other defendants are:

- Mayo Mena: Pled guilty to possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute and was sentenced to 7 months.
- Martin Talaver-Sanchez: Pending sentencing.
In plea papers, Hardcastle admitted that he delivered a total of 1,494.6 grams methamphetamine to an undercover officer on three separate occasions, with a wholesale value of $10,500, DOJ officials said in a release.
Hardcastle was sentenced Thursday to 200 months in prison, the DOJ said.
