Jada Marie Ray, a 33-year-old resident of Poteau, Oklahoma, has been sentenced to six months in prison for distributing fentanyl. This announcement was made by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma.

The case stemmed from an investigation conducted by the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics, the District 16 Drug Task Force, and the Drug Enforcement Administration. Ray had pleaded guilty on July 23, 2024, to distributing twenty pills containing fentanyl on January 5, 2023.

Chief U.S. District Judge Ronald A. White presided over the sentencing at the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma. Ray is currently in custody under the U.S. Marshals Service and will be transported to a designated facility within the United States Bureau of Prisons to serve her sentence, which does not allow for parole.

The prosecution was led by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jordan Howanitz.
