A Meridian, Mississippi resident, Jabreon Deshon Mosley, 35, has been sentenced to 25 years in prison following his conviction for drug manufacturing and trafficking offenses.
According to court documents, law enforcement officers seized more than 87 pounds of methamphetamine, 45 pounds of fentanyl, and 35 pounds of cocaine from a residence occupied by Mosley. Authorities also found two pill press machines, thirteen firearms, and a suppressor at the location. 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 counterfeit pills were distributed in Meridian and parts of Alabama.
U.S. Attorney J.E. Baxter Kruger for the Southern District of Mississippi commented on the sentencing alongside 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 offices in Jackson and Birmingham, the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics, and the East Mississippi Drug Task Force. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Alabama provided additional assistance during the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Adam T. Stuart and Kabah S. Ealy prosecuted the case.
This prosecution falls under Operation Take Back America—a nationwide initiative led by the Department of Justice that aims to combat illegal immigration, dismantle cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and reduce violent crime through coordinated efforts involving programs such as Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETFs) and Project Safe Neighborhood (PSN).
