A Dunnsville resident has been sentenced to six years and eight months in federal prison following convictions for methamphetamine distribution and selling a firearm to a convicted felon. The sentencing took place in Richmond, Virginia.
Court documents state that Brian Keith Anderson, 48, was involved in seven controlled purchases by law enforcement between January 16, 2024, and February 25, 2025. During these operations, Anderson distributed a total of 117.29 grams of methamphetamine. On June 14, 2024, he also sold a handgun along with 4.85 grams of methamphetamine to someone he knew was prohibited from possessing firearms due to a felony conviction.
Investigators searched Anderson’s home and vehicle on March 5. They recovered $1,160 in cash, nine firearms with magazines and ammunition, two digital scales containing methamphetamine residue, and one square tab containing LSD.
The case was prosecuted by Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric Gilliland—who is also an Assistant Attorney General with the Virginia Attorney General’s Office—and Assistant U.S. Attorney Angela Mastandrea.
