TIFTON, Ga. – A Tifton man has been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for trafficking large amounts of methamphetamine originating from Mexico, authorities announced.
Travarious Deshawn Mike, 29, was sentenced on June 5 after pleading guilty to two counts of meth distribution, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Georgia.
Investigators say Mike continued dealing drugs while wearing an ankle monitor and out on bond for a prior trafficking case. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) seized over 8 kilograms of meth, heroin, and firearms linked to the operation.
Mike was ultimately apprehended after a high-speed chase in Monroe County, during which he allegedly threw a pound of meth from his car before crashing and being arrested.
Federal authorities emphasized that there is no parole in the federal system. Investigations into the broader drug trafficking network are still ongoing.
