Bramlette III sentenced convicted drug dealer Marvin Rocedreck Brown, 42, of Union, Mississippi, to 240 months in prison and ordered him to pay a $1,500 fine for conspiracy to launder drug proceeds, announced U.S. Attorney Gregory K.

He pled guilty in March, 2016, to conspiracy to launder drug proceeds. Brown was responsible for the distribution of large quantities of cocaine and methamphetamine in central Mississippi and throughout Newton and Neshoba Counties for several years.

Law enforcement officials have seized or forfeited Brown’s assets including his personal residence on Highway 489 in Union, a residence on Highway 15 in Union, three acres in Union, and multiple mobile homes with ten acres on Rigdon Road in Union. Other seized assets included cash, a bank account, various vehicles and ATVs, a Kamatsu bulldozer, a tractor and trailer, zero-turn mowers, motorcycles, a GMC dump truck, a Fortress track paver etc.
