A 43-year-old man from Aberdeen has been sentenced to over a decade in prison for his role in distributing methamphetamine.
According to court documents, Brandon Lenoir pled guilty in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi to the charge of distributing methamphetamine. U.S. District Court Chief Judge Debra Brown sentenced Lenoir to 140 months (over 11 years) in prison for his drug trafficking activities. Additionally, Lenoir will be under supervised release for five years following his time in prison.
Lenoir, a repeat offender with previous convictions for drug and firearm-related crimes, was given a stern sentence for his involvement in the illegal drug trade.
U.S. Attorney Clay Joyner commented, “Methamphetamine destroys individuals, families, and communities, and those who traffic it deserve to go to prison. I commend the joint efforts of our AUSA, the DEA, and the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics in removing this repeat drug offender and the poison he peddles from our streets.”
Assistant Special Agent in Charge Anessa Daniels-McCaw of the DEA emphasized the importance of their continued efforts, stating, “The lengthy sentence handed down to a repeat offender underscores the seriousness of these crimes and our unwavering determination to hold those who contribute to the cycle of addiction accountable.”
The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics, and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Chad M. Doleac.
