Greenville, MS criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with Distributing Fentanyl

Greenville Man Sentenced for Distributing Fentanyl



A Greenville man was sentenced to 33 months in prison for distribution of fentanyl.

Frederick Williams, 26, previously plead guilty to distribution of a controlled substance, which included fentanyl. Chief U.S. District Judge Michael P. Mills of the Northern District of Mississippi sentenced Williams to 33 months of incarceration followed by three years of supervised release. Williams was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service following sentencing.

On October 24, 2024, Williams’ Codefendant, Dequan Antonio Titus, 27, entered a plea of guilty to one count of distribution of a mixture and substance containing fentanyl. On February 6, 2025, U.S. District Judge Michael P. Mills sentenced Titus to serve 24 months imprisonment followed by three years of supervised release.

“Fentanyl is poison, and those who sell it deserve every day of whatever prison sentence is imposed on them,” said U.S. Attorney Clay Joyner. “We are proud to stand with our partners at the Greenville Police Department in protecting their community from this scourge.”

“First, we would like to thank the Special Operations Division, officers of the Greenville Police Department, and the U. S. Attorney’s Office for a job well done,” said Chief Marcus Turner of the Greenville Police Department. “We will continue to use all available resources to pursue individuals that spread illegal drugs in our community. Moving forward, we will continue to diligently work together to ensure the safety of all citizens.”

This case was investigated by the Greenville Police Department.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Philip M. Levy prosecuted the case.
