ALBANY, Ga. (WTXL) - A Doerun man was sentenced to 130 months in federal prison for the distribution of methamphetamine.
Theron King, 29, received the sentence Thursday, according to Charles E. Peeler, the U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Georgia.
On May 9, 2017, King was arrested in Sale City, Ga., while possessing approximately 15 ounces of methamphetamine, a news release said. Earlier that day he had agreed to supply the methamphetamine to another person.
At his sentencing hearing, evidence showed that, before the events in May 2017, he had arranged for the delivery of about 10 pounds of methamphetamine by U.S. Mail.
"Methamphetamine continues to be one of the most serious drugs of abuse in the Middle District of Georgia," Peeler said. "In a matter of only a few months it can destroy a person's physical appearance, health, intellect and emotional stability. Those who deal in methamphetamine deal in human misery and will be held accountable for the choices they make."
