Jaime Pelletier, a 39-year-old resident of Melbourne, Florida, has been sentenced to 17 years and six months in federal prison for distributing methamphetamine. The sentence was handed down by Senior U.S. District Judge John Antoon II after Pelletier pleaded guilty on October 16, 2025. United States Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe announced the sentencing.
The case began when the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office used a confidential source to make two controlled drug purchases from Pelletier at her home. These transactions involved more than 420 grams of pure methamphetamine. Following these purchases, law enforcement obtained a search warrant for Pelletier’s residence.
When officers arrived to execute the warrant, Pelletier attempted to flush methamphetamine down the toilet. During the search, authorities seized additional quantities of methamphetamine as well as digital scales, cutting agents, and other materials associated with drug processing.
The investigation was conducted by the DEA and the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant United States Attorney Megan Testerman prosecuted the case.
