Jonathan Wayne Green Sentenced to 14 Years for Methamphetamine Possession, Jackson TN, 2019

A 41-year-old man from Holladay, Tennessee, has been handed a 14-year prison sentence for his role in a major methamphetamine operation. Jonathan Wayne Green was found guilty of possessing over 50 grams of actual methamphetamine with the intent to distribute.

According to court documents, Green was stopped by a Camden Police officer on April 16, 2019, after a report of a trespassing complaint at Camden General Hospital. The officer observed a pickup truck matching the description from the complaint and conducted a traffic stop after the vehicle drove into a nearby McDonald’s parking lot.

Green appeared to be nervous during the stop and confessed to the officer that he was on state probation and had a large amount of methamphetamine in the backseat of his truck. A search of the vehicle revealed over a pound of methamphetamine, which was individually wrapped in three separate smaller bags inside of a larger Ziplock bag, along with cash and drug paraphernalia.

Green admitted to selling methamphetamine earlier that night, and the evidence collected from the scene sealed his fate. United States District Judge S. Thomas Anderson sentenced Green to 168 months’ imprisonment, to be followed by five years of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system.

The case was investigated by the Camden Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). United States Attorney Kevin Ritz praised the efforts of Assistant United States Attorney Josh Morrow, who prosecuted the case, as well as the law enforcement partners who worked tirelessly to bring Green to justice.

Green’s sentence serves as a reminder of the dangers of methamphetamine and the importance of holding accountable those who traffic in this deadly substance. As our community continues to grapple with the effects of the opioid crisis, it is more crucial than ever that we remain vigilant and committed to combating these types of crimes.
