Trey Allan King, 32, of Jacksonville, has been sentenced by U.S. District Judge Marcia Morales Howard to 10 years in federal prison for conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and distribution of 50 grams or more of actual methamphetamine, according to an announcement on June 2 by U.S. Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe.
According to court documents, during the summer of 2024, King was involved in a drug trafficking conspiracy that sold marijuana and methamphetamine at various trap house locations throughout Jacksonville. Between July 18 and August 14, 2024, a confidential source purchased approximately 1,055 grams of methamphetamine from members of the organization. On August 7, King personally sold about 238 grams of actual methamphetamine to the confidential source in exchange for $1,500.
The investigation determined that King regularly sold and delivered drugs on behalf of the organization. His activities included distributing drugs from a mobile camper as part of his role within the group.
The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration with assistance from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; Nassau County Sheriff’s Office; and Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. Assistant United States Attorneys Rachel Lasry and Kelli A. Swaney prosecuted the case.
This prosecution is part of Operation Take Back America—a nationwide initiative designed to use Department of Justice resources against illegal immigration activity and transnational criminal organizations while aiming to protect communities from violent crime.
