In a major blow to the illicit drug trade, Gregory Lavern Wilson, a 46-year-old resident of Yakima, Washington, has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for possessing methamphetamine with intent to distribute.
The sentencing, which took place on an unspecified date, comes after Wilson previously pleaded guilty to the charges. United States District Judge Stanley A. Bastian handed down the sentence, which will be followed by a 5-year term of court supervision upon Wilson’s release from federal prison.
According to information disclosed during the court proceedings, the Yakima DEA Task Force conducted several undercover purchases of methamphetamine from Wilson between April and May 2015. On May 27, 2015, officers executed multiple search warrants at Wilson’s residence, recovering additional methamphetamine, drug packaging, and a digital scale.
Wilson subsequently acknowledged that he distributed methamphetamine, and it was revealed that he had at least eight prior felony drug offense convictions, as well as numerous other convictions.
Michael C. Ormsby, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Washington, commended the officers of the Yakima DEA Drug Task Force, the Yakima Police Department, and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration for their efforts in investigating this drug trafficking case.
The case was investigated by the cooperative efforts of the Yakima DEA Drug Task Force, the Yakima Police Department, and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. The case was prosecuted by Ian L. Garriques, an Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Washington.
