A 39-year-old man from Morristown, Tennessee, was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison for his role in a methamphetamine trafficking ring that distributed the drug in the Eastern District of Tennessee.

Daniel Martinez, Jr., 39, of Morristown, Tenn., was sentenced on October 6, 2015, by the Honorable R. Leon Jordan, U.S. District Judge.

Martinez pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute methamphetamine. He admitted to obtaining methamphetamine from sources of supply near Atlanta, Ga., as well as Bakersfield, Calif., and distributing the drug in the Eastern District of Tennessee.

The investigation into the drug trafficking of Martinez and his conspirators was the collaborative effort of several law enforcement agencies, including the Greene County Sheriff’s Office, Morristown Police Department, Third Judicial Drug Task Force, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Investigations, and Drug Enforcement Administration.

Upon his release from prison, Martinez will serve a 10-year period of supervised release.

Three others were indicted along with Martinez and have each pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute methamphetamine. Randy Dean, 49, of Greeneville, Tenn., was sentenced in October 2015 to serve 97 months in prison. Amanda Norton, 36, of Morristown, Tenn., and Terry Mulkey, 49, of Calhoun, Ga., are awaiting sentencing.

The Third Judicial District Attorney’s Office also provided assistance in the prosecution of the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney J. Christian Lampe represented the United States.
