Devin Covon Randle, Methamphetamine Distribution, Georgia 2025

A 29-year-old man has been sentenced to 192 months in prison for his role in a large-scale methamphetamine trafficking organization in southwest Georgia.

Devin Covon Randle, of Albany, was sentenced on September 24, 2025, after he previously pleaded guilty to one count of distribution of methamphetamine on March 25, 2025.

This case is the result of a multi-level law enforcement effort in southwest Georgia that seized 30 firearms, including two machineguns, along with methamphetamine and fentanyl.

“This case amplifies the kinds of efforts across the Middle District of Georgia to get guns and drugs off our streets and make the communities we serve safer for everyone,” said U.S. Attorney William R. “Will” Keyes.

Randle was sentenced to 192 months in prison to be followed by four years of supervised release.

He is one of ten defendants involved in the case, who are being held accountable for their crimes at the federal level. The defendants were involved in an armed drug trafficking organization that was trafficking methamphetamine and other dangerous narcotics in Georgia communities.

The case highlights the importance of collaboration between state, local, and federal law enforcement agencies in combating drug trafficking and gun violence.
