Pensacola Man Sentenced to 15 Years for Methamphetamine Trafficking, Gun Possession

A Pensacola man has been sentenced to 15 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to drug trafficking and federal gun possession charges, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Florida.

The case originated from a traffic stop last year that led to the discovery of a loaded firearm, bulk methamphetamine, and cash, according to North Escambia. The evidence uncovered during that stop formed the basis of the federal charges.

The sentencing represents the conclusion of the case following the man's guilty plea to the charges. Details about the specific amount of methamphetamine or cash recovered were not disclosed in the available court information.
