A Mississippi man was sentenced to 25 years in federal prison in a fentanyl pill case involving a Tuscaloosa supplier and a drug operation that reached the Birmingham area.
U.S. District Judge Edmund G. LaCour Jr. sentenced Jabreon Deshon Mosley Jr., 36, of Meridian, Mississippi, after a federal jury found him guilty of conspiring to possess methamphetamine and fentanyl with intent to distribute and using a telephone to commit a drug trafficking crime, U.S. Attorney Phillip W. Williams Jr. announced.
Evidence presented at trial showed that Hanston Alexander Clark of Tuscaloosa supplied Mosley with fentanyl and methamphetamine in powder form. Mosley pressed the drugs into pills for distribution in the Birmingham and Tuscaloosa areas, federal prosecutors said.
From August through October 2023, agents intercepted several conversations between Mosley and Clark about the operation through a court-authorized wiretap on Clark’s phone. Those calls helped Mississippi authorities obtain a warrant to search Mosley’s home.
Authorities recovered 36,056.76 grams of methamphetamine, 7,403.20 grams of cocaine and 18,601.53 grams of fentanyl. They also seized 13 firearms, a suppressor, body armor and two pill presses.
Clark, 34, pleaded guilty in December 2025 to conspiring to possess methamphetamine and fentanyl with intent to distribute. He was sentenced to 121 months in prison.
“This defendant distributed dangerous pills across Alabama and Mississippi, putting lives and communities at risk,” Williams said.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Brittany T. Byrd said the seizure followed information sharing among Drug Enforcement Administration agents in Birmingham and Mississippi and the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics.
The DEA led the investigation as part of the Homeland Security Task Force initiative. The West Alabama Narcotics Task Force, Tuscaloosa Police Department, Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics and other state and federal agencies assisted.
