Virginia resident Andrew Myers, 39, of Newport News, has been sentenced to two years in prison after being busted bringing the drug, more commonly known as ecstasy, into the country from Spain and German.

In February 2020, special agents with Homeland Security Investigations and detectives with the Newport News Police Department received a tip that a package containing MDMA was entering the US and was addressed to Myers, officials said.

The agents conducted a controlled delivery of the package to Myer’s residence, they said, though Myers denied any knowledge of the package.

In July 2021, agents located an additional package of MDMA that was entering the country from Spain, according to the DOJ. The agents did another controlled delivery of the package to a post office box in Yorktown, and when Myers arrived to retrieve the package he was arrested.
