Alexander Brock Ray, Methamphetamine Trafficking, Georgia 2022

MACON, Ga. — A Macon probationer was sentenced to serve more than nine years in federal prison for attempting to distribute 1.3 kilograms of methamphetamine.

Alexander Brock Ray, 30, of Macon, was sentenced to serve 118 months in prison to be followed by four years of supervised release by U.S. District Judge Marc Treadwell on Wednesday, March 3.

Ray previously pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. There is no parole in the federal system.

Law enforcement served an arrest warrant at Ray’s home on August 16, 2018 for a Bibb County Superior Court probation violation. A shotgun belonging to Ray was visible inside, along with pills, approximately 20 bags filled with suspected ecstasy, and more bags containing yellow and blue powder. Officers obtained and executed a search warrant.

In total, 1.3 kilograms of methamphetamine (105 separate bags) were seized from Ray’s home, along with two semiautomatic pistols, eleven stamps being used to compress powder to pills and other drug paraphernalia.

Ray had been previously convicted in Bibb County Superior Court of theft by receiving (firearm), carrying a concealed weapon, and felony obstruction in 2013. Ray was in violation of his probation at the time of his arrest in this case.

“Repeat violent offenders and drug traffickers are facing steep prison sentences across the Middle District of Georgia for choosing to continue a life of crime,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Leary.

“The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI should be commended for their joint efforts in this case. This particular defendant is facing a nearly 10-year federal prison sentence, and hopefully this large sentence will deter others from a life of crime,” said U.S. Marshal John Cary Bittick.
