ALBANY-- United States Attorney for the Middle District of Georgia, Charles E. Peeler, announced Friday that Borris Fuller, age 41 of Moultrie, GA and four individuals involved in a Methamphetamine distribution ring were sentenced by the Honorable Leslie J. Abrams on Friday, October 26 in U.S. Federal Court in Albany. There have been a total of 21 sentencings this week related to the same illegal drug distribution ring.
Authorities estimate that the group was responsible for the distribution of more than 20 kilograms of the drug. From May until November 2016, an organization of 30 individuals distributed Methamphetamine in and around Moultrie, Georgia. According to court evidence, some of these transactions also occurred in Atlanta, GA and parts of Florida, including at the Georgia-Florida line. Mr. Fuller’s sentencing is scheduled for Friday.
“Methamphetamine destroys lives. It destroys the life of the user, the lives of the family members and it taxes law enforcement and health care providers. It is a poison in our communities," said Charles E. Peeler, the U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Georgia. “Since 2010, the number of meth overdose deaths has grown each and every year. Law enforcement is fighting as hard as they ever have. It is a fight worth fighting, and one we will win."
“I salute the tireless efforts of more than a dozen law enforcement agencies and our committed prosecutorial team that contributed to bringing this meth distribution ring down."
