A Meridian, Mississippi resident has been sentenced to 25 years in federal prison for drug manufacturing and trafficking offenses. Jabreon Deshon Mosley, 35, received a 300-month sentence after law enforcement discovered significant quantities of illegal drugs and firearms at his residence.
Court documents state that authorities recovered more than 87 pounds of methamphetamine, 45 pounds of fentanyl, and 35 pounds of cocaine from Mosley’s home. In addition to the drugs, officers found two pill press machines, thirteen firearms, and one suppressor. Investigators determined that between October 2023 and January 2024, Mosley used an illegal automatic pill press machine to produce thousands of counterfeit pharmaceutical pills containing methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cocaine. These pills were distributed in Meridian and parts of Alabama.
U.S. Attorney J.E. Baxter Kruger for the Southern District of Mississippi announced the sentencing along with DEA Assistant Special Agent in Charge Anessa Daniels-McCaw and Mississippi Department of Public Safety Commissioner Sean Tindell.
The investigation was conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Jackson and Birmingham District Offices, the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics, and the East Mississippi Drug Task Force. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Alabama also assisted with the case. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Adam T. Stuart and Kabah S. Ealy prosecuted Mosley.
According to officials, “This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime. Operation Take Back America streamlines efforts and resources from the Department’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETFs) and Project Safe Neighborhood (PSN).”
