Six pseudoephedrine mega-thieves admit guilt
Aim for the stars. If you miss, you’ll hit the moon. Or, if you’re a half-dozen pseudoephedrine robbers, you’ll hit jail.
In a brazen robbery on Superbowl Sunday 2007, six people hijacked a forklift at pharmy manufacturer, tied up a security guard and made off with a 110-pound barrel full of pseudoephendrine, which was used to manufacture $1 million worth of meth, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office.
The six guilty people covered every aspect of the operation, from planning, to executing the armed robbery to making and distributing the meth. Here are their names:
- Shawn Anthony Clinkenbeard, 38, of Peculiar, Mo.
- John Robert Christian, 25, of Peculiar, Mo.
- Clair John “Homie” Easterbrook, Jr., 46
- David Douglas Margita, 29, of KCMO
- Jimmy Wayne O’Neal, 36, of KCK
- Robert William “Butch” Webb, 62, of KCK
With the exception of Webb, each faces a mandatory minimum of 10 years in federal prison without parole and up to life in prison without parole. The geezer faces up to 20 years in federal prison.
Charges are still pending against James Robert “Bimbo” Everson, Jr., 41, the alleged mastermind; and alleged accomplices Micah Lee Boley, 48, and Eugene Edward Dove, 42.
