Memphis, Tennessee criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with Trafficking Fentanyl and Methamphetamine

Memphis Man Sentenced to 87 Months in Prison for Trafficking Fentanyl and Methamphetamine

A Tennessee man was sentenced to over seven years in prison for his role in a conspiracy to traffic fentanyl and methamphetamine in the Memphis area.



Courtney Davis, 28, of Memphis, also known as Geo and Geo Grape, conspired with co-defendant Brian Lackland, also known as Stupid Duke, Spooky Duke, Duke, and Homework, and others, in the distribution of fentanyl and methamphetamine. This investigation targeted a Memphis-based gang Young Mob, also known as Young Mob Military, and its involvement in the trafficking of fentanyl and methamphetamine.



Beginning in March 2024, investigators and agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Memphis Multiagency Gang Unit began court-authorized wiretaps in which Davis was intercepted multiple times discussing with Lackland the acquisition and distribution of "blues,” which are fentanyl pills that resembled blue 30mg oxycodone pills. Davis was responsible for the acquisition and distribution of approximately 90 grams of fentanyl and 1360 grams of methamphetamine.



Davis is one of 18 defendants charged as part of this ongoing investigation and the first to be sentenced. In December 2024, Davis pleaded guilty to conspiring to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute fentanyl.



The ATF and the Memphis Multiagency Gang Unit investigated the case.



Trial Attorneys Brian P. Leaming and Amanda Kotula of the Criminal Division's Violent Crime and Racketeering Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney P. Neal Oldham for the Western District of Tennessee prosecuted the case.
