Coosada Man Sentenced to 130 Months in Federal Prison Following Federal Drug and Gun Convictions

Today, Acting United States Attorney Kevin Davidson announced that a Coosada, Alabama man has been sentenced to prison following convictions for methamphetamine distribution and the illegal possession of a firearm.

On May 6, 2026, a federal judge sentenced 39-year-old Deandre Maurice Jennings to 130 months in prison. Following his term of imprisonment, Jennings will serve five years of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system.

According to his agreement and other court records, on February 20, 2025, law enforcement in Montgomery conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle driven by Jennings. A search of the vehicle revealed 434 grams of methamphetamine and a handgun. Jennings has previous felony convictions and is prohibited from possessing a firearm or ammunition.

On October 6, 2025, Jennings pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

The Drug Enforcement Administration, Millbrook Police Department, Montgomery Police Department and Elmore County Drug Task Force investigated the case, which Assistant United States Attorney Christine Levi prosecuted.

This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.
