Fort Myers, Florida - U.S. District Judge Thomas P. Barber has sentenced Jeffrey Brown (35, Fort Myers) to seven and six months in federal prison for distributing methamphetamine. Brown had pleaded guilty on Feb. 15, 2023.

According to court documents, an undercover Special Agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration was introduced to Brown and made a small introductory purchase of powder cocaine. Brown then told the undercover agent that he could supply the agent with large quantities of methamphetamine. Over the course of two ensuing transactions in late 2020, Brown sold the undercover agent approximately three-fourths of a pound of 99% pure methamphetamine. Each of the transactions occurred at residences associated with Brown in Fort Myers. Upon his arrest, Brown admitted he had been selling drugs since his childhood. He has multiple prior convictions for drug and firearms offenses.

This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Michael V. Leeman.
