Jakari Tywann Lewis, Possession with Intent to Distribute Crack Cocaine, Alabama 2012

A Mobile man has been sentenced to 15 months imprisonment for possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine.

Jakari Tywann Lewis, 38, of Mobile, Alabama, was sentenced to 15 months in federal prison on the charge of possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine.

Lewis entered a guilty plea to the charge in October of 2012. Senior District Court Judge Charles R. Butler, Jr., imposed the sentence and ordered that Lewis serve a six year term of supervised release when he is released from the penitentiary.

The judge also ordered that Lewis pay the special mandatory assessment of $100.

The case was investigated by the Mobile County Sheriff's Office and the Department of Homeland Security. It was prosecuted by Gloria Bedwell in the United States Attorney's Office in Mobile.

Lewis' 15-month prison sentence is just the beginning of his punishment. He will also serve a six year term of supervised release after his release from prison.

The special mandatory assessment of $100 is a small price to pay for the serious crime of possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine.

Mobile County Sheriff's Office and the Department of Homeland Security worked together to bring Lewis to justice.
