“The federal penalty is steep for individuals—especially repeat
offenders—who traffic large quantities of methamphetamine in the Middle
District of Georgia,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Peter D. Leary.
“Preventing the flow of methamphetamine into our region and holding
high-volume drug traffickers accountable for their crimes is a priority
for our law enforcement partners, who are working around the clock to
protect citizens.”
“The sentencing of these four co-defendants removes them from the
streets of the Macon community thereby reducing the threat of violence
and destruction their drug trafficking posed,” said Chris Hacker,
Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta. “The FBI will continue to work
with our federal, state and local partners to protect our citizens from
such predators.”
