Jesse James Davis, Methamphetamine Trafficking, New Mexico 2016

ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico – Jesse James Davis, 40, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, has pleaded guilty to a federal methamphetamine trafficking charge.

Under the terms of his plea agreement, Davis will be sentenced within the range of 10 to 15 years in prison followed by a term of supervised release to be determined by the court.

Davis and his co-defendant, Joshua Bright, 32, were arrested during an ATF-led investigation that resulted in the filing of 59 federal indictments and one federal criminal complaint charging 104 Bernalillo County residents with federal firearms and narcotics trafficking offenses.

The investigation, which began in mid-April 2016, was undertaken in support of a federal anti-violence initiative that targets ‘the worst of the worst’ offenders for federal prosecution.

According to the indictment, Davis sold approximately 115 grams of methamphetamine to an undercover law enforcement agent on June 6, 2016.

The case was investigated by the Albuquerque office of ATF. Assistant U.S. Attorney Rumaldo R. Armijo is prosecuting the case.

Davis remains in custody pending a sentencing hearing, which has yet to be scheduled. To date, 28 of the 104 defendants have entered guilty pleas, and two have been sentenced.
