GREENVILLE, Miss.–A man who admitted to selling meth in Greenville is going to prison for nearly six years.
Damien Brown, 48, was caught with meth by officers with the Greenville Police Dept., and pleaded guilty to federal meth dealing charges. He was sentenced Tuesday in federal court in Aberdeen.
The minimum sentence is five years. Brown’s sentence was 71 months, which is just shy of six years.
“This case demonstrates the continued effectiveness of our partnership with the Greenville Police Department,” US Attorney Clay Joyner said in a prepared statement following sentencing. “We will continue to hold accountable those that spread this poison in our communities.”
“The Greenville Police Department will continue to use all available resources, including the United States Department of Justice, to pursue individuals that spread illegal drugs in our community,” Chief Marcus Turner said. “The distribution and use of illegal drugs such as methamphetamine has traumatic consequences that not only affect the user, but the entire community. We would like to thank each agency involved in the success of this conviction and for aiding us in creating a safer environment for individuals to work and live.”
