Macon Men Sentenced to Federal Prison for Methamphetamine Trafficking
Four men involved in a methamphetamine trafficking conspiracy in Macon, Georgia, have been sentenced to federal prison for their crimes. Denzelle Diangelo Willis, 34, of Macon, was sentenced to serve 278 months in prison to be followed by five years of supervised release. Willis pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine on March 24.
James Richard Fuller, 33, of Macon, was sentenced to serve 181 months in prison to be followed by five years of supervised release. Fuller previously pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine on March 24.

Deion Jocoley Howard, 31, of Macon, was sentenced to serve 53 months in prison to be followed by five years of supervised release. Howard previously pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine on March 24.
The sentencing hearings occurred on July 10 before U.S. District Judge Marc Treadwell. There is no parole in the federal system.
The investigation into the methamphetamine trafficking organization began in November 2022, after FBI agents seized nearly eleven kilograms of methamphetamine as part of a separate investigation into Julian Coker’s drug trafficking organization. DEA agents learned that Willis and Mendez sold methamphetamine and heroin throughout the Macon area.
According to court documents, agents used Confidential Informants to conduct three methamphetamine buys from Mendez and two heroin buys from Willis between February and March 2023. The substances were later tested and contained fentanyl. Agents discovered Mendez maintained a stash house on Melbourne Street in Macon and supplied ounce quantities of methamphetamine and marijuana to a network of street-level dealers.
This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations, and protect communities from violent crime.
