A Dyer County jury has convicted Jackson Hogshooter on methamphetamine and firearm charges stemming from a September 2025 traffic stop in Dyersburg.
Prosecutors said Dyersburg police stopped a speeding vehicle on Sept. 9, 2025. Three occupants fled after the stop, leaving Hogshooter and the vehicle behind for a search.
Officers reported finding more than 100 grams of methamphetamine and two firearms inside the vehicle.
Hogshooter was convicted of possessing Schedule II methamphetamine over 0.5 grams with intent to sell or deliver. That count carries a possible range of 12 to 20 years with 35 percent release eligibility.
He was also convicted of unlawful possession of a firearm by a prior violent convicted felon, which carries 12 to 20 years at 85 percent release eligibility.
A third conviction for possessing a firearm during a dangerous felony carries a mandatory minimum of five years to be served at 100 percent.
District Attorney General Danny H. Goodman Jr. credited Assistant District Attorney General Laura Clements for the trial work and thanked Dyersburg police for the stop.
Goodman said the case shows how enforcing a traffic violation can lead to a major drug and gun seizure.
A sentencing date for Hogshooter has not been announced.
