KANSAS CITY, KAN. – A Kansas City, Kan., man was sentenced
today to 80 months in federal prison for acting as a courier to deliver more
than three pounds of methamphetamine, U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister said.
Demetrius Summerson, 28, Kansas City, Kan., pleaded guilty
to one count of distributing methamphetamine. In his plea, he admitted that FBI
agents had him under surveillance when he delivered more than 3.6 pounds of
methamphetamine to a buyer in Lenexa, Kan. The buyer paid Summerson $10,000.
Summerson was working as a distributor for a drug
trafficking organization operating in Johnson and Wyandotte counties that was
obtaining methamphetamine from a provider in Michoacan, Mexico.
McAllister commended the FBI, the Kansas City, Kan., Police
Department and Assistant U.S. Attorney Sheri Catania for their work on the
case.

Needs much more jail time. Life sentence would be better for deterring drug dealers. Surprised judges don't realize this. Judges and prosecutors need to send a message to drug dealers not to mention he was part of a drug dealing organization.
