Six Defendants Sentenced To Federal Prison As A Result Of A Joint Drug Trafficking Investigation

Jason R. Coody, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Florida, announced today the sentences of six defendants who were indicted in multiple cases and convicted for their participation in a drug trafficking ring previously active in Escambia County, Florida. The prosecutions were the result of a large-scale multi-agency investigation spearheaded by the Escambia County Sheriff's Office, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the United States Postal Inspection Service.



"Our local, state, and federal law enforcement partners work tirelessly to keep us safe by removing addictive and deadly controlled substances from our communities,” said U.S. Attorney Coody. "We remain committed to support their efforts through the investigation and prosecution of criminals bringing drugs into North Florida. The imposed sentences illustrate the significant consequences of harming our citizens through their illicit drug trafficking activities.”



"We are proud of the combined efforts of our federal, state, and local partners,” said Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons. "This successful investigation will have a lasting impact on the availability of dangerous drugs in our area. Our commitment to safe communities remains strong.”



From November 2021 through March 2023, law enforcement seized over 26 kilograms of methamphetamine, over a kilogram of cocaine, over 1300 grams of fentanyl, multiple pounds of marijuana, a quantity of heroin, and 12 firearms.

Brandon M. Anderson, 20 years in prison



Oddie A. Mims, 12 years in prison



Ackrulmauert P. Mims, 12 years in prison



Keontre M. Dortch, 10 years in prison
