Fayetteville Man Sentenced to 12+ Years for Crack Cocaine Distribution
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – A Fayetteville man was sentenced to serve over a decade in federal prison for his role in distributing crack cocaine in the region.
Dontez Flowers, 35, of Fayetteville, was sentenced to 151 months in federal prison by the Honorable Harry S. Mattice, Jr., U.S. District Judge, on Sept. 29, 2014. Flowers pleaded guilty in June 2014 to distribution of cocaine base, ‘crack.’
According to court documents, Flowers admitted to selling 5 grams of crack cocaine to an individual working with law enforcement on one occasion in July 2013. He also attempted to sell 20 grams of crack cocaine a few days later. Despite being confronted by police, Flowers continued to sell crack cocaine.
The indictment and subsequent conviction of Flowers was the result of an investigation conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, Tennessee Bureau of Investigations, and Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Terra L. Bay represented the United States.
Flowers will be subject to three years of supervised release by the U.S. Probation Office upon his release from prison. The lengthy sentence is a result of Flowers’ decision to continue selling crack cocaine despite being confronted by law enforcement.
The case serves as a reminder of the severe consequences of engaging in narcotics trafficking. The Grimy Times will continue to follow this story and provide updates as more information becomes available.
