West Tennessee Man Sentenced to 30 Years in Prison for Distribution of Methamphetamine

Jackson, TN - Gregory Lynn Bond, 33, of Denmark, Tennessee, has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for distribution of methamphetamine. D. Michael Dunavant, United States Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee, announced the sentence today.

Bond was charged with three counts of distributing and possessing with the intent to distribute methamphetamine. Bond pled guilty to all three counts. According to the information presented during the sentencing hearing, agents with the Department of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), and the 26th Judicial District Drug Task Force initiated a joint investigation into a drug trafficking organization operating in Denmark, Tennessee.

Through the investigation, agents identified Bond as a methamphetamine distributor for this drug trafficking organization. The investigation of Bond involved several controlled purchases, a traffic stop, and several searches of property used by Bond. At sentencing, Bond was held responsible for trafficking over 3 kilograms of methamphetamine.

Following his guilty plea for distribution and possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, United States District Judge J. Daniel Breen sentenced Bond to 30 years in prison and five years of supervised release.

There is no parole in the federal system.

U.S. Attorney D. Michael Dunavant said, "Use and trafficking of methamphetamine continues to destroy lives, families, and communities across West Tennessee. The significant sentence in this case sends a clear message to those drug dealers who distribute poison in West Tennessee: You cannot prey upon our citizens for your selfish personal gain with impunity; there will be a reckoning."

This case was investigated by the Department of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), the Madison County Sheriff's Department, and the 26th Judicial District Drug Task Force.

Assistant United States Attorney Adam Davis prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.
