According to the indictment, the two men conspired to distribute 50 grams or more of meth from December 2018 to April 2019.
The two men are also accused of distributing 5 grams or more of methamphetamine on several occasions. Gilliams is charged separately with distributing 50 grams or more of meth on two dates in December 2018.
