When Love under lockup and Love after lockup viewers were introduced to Kayleigh’s incarcerated husband Michael, he explained that he had “been in prison for about six years” after being convicted of possession of a firearm, possession of meth with intent to distribute and more.
Michael didn’t go into detail about his arrest or charges, but Starcasm has the scoop for you.
Michael was arrested in Utah in 2019 after the car he was driving drifted off the highway and then overturned when Michael overcorrected.
The woman Michael was traveling with was trapped in the car, but when the police arrived at the scene, Michael was observed picking up items on the ground and placing them back in his luggage. The activity was even more suspicious as Michael had sustained injuries in the crash.
Police obtained a search warrant and found ten pounds of methamphetamine, three kilograms of heroin, a container of THC edibles, heroin for personal use, a marijuana joint, an open container of an alcoholic beverage and a loaded handgun.
Michael told police he delivered the drugs to Philadelphia.
Michael was convicted of felony charges of possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking offense.
For the meth charge, Michael got 36 months. For the firearms charge, he got 60 months. Unfortunately for Michael, the sentences were consecutive and not concurrent. As a result, he was sentenced to a total of 96 months in federal prison.
