Mack Biggers, a 43-year-old Houston man, has been ordered to federal prison following his conviction of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, announced U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Patrick. Biggers pleaded guilty on September 6.

Today, U.S. District Judge Alfred Bennett handed Biggers a 180-month sentence, to be immediately followed by five years of supervised release. The sentence includes an upward variance due to Biggers’ extensive criminal history. At the hearing, the court heard additional information, including a presentation detailing how Biggers committed his narcotics offenses.

For several months in 2017 and 2018, Biggers acquired and sold various narcotics, including methamphetamine and heroin. Biggers also produced and starred in rap videos that glamorized his illegal activities.

On February 21, 2018, authorities conducted surveillance and subsequently arrested Biggers as he attempted to flee from police at an apartment complex located on the 14700 block of West Oaks Plaza Drive in Houston. He had thrown bags down as he fled. Law enforcement recovered them, which were found to contain hundreds of pills made from various substances, including methamphetamine and heroin.

Biggers has been and will remain in custody pending transfer to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility to be determined in the near future.

The investigation was conducted by the Houston Police Department and Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations. Assistant U.S. Attorney John Michael Lewis is prosecuting the case.

In a statement, U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Patrick said, ‘Mack Biggers’ extensive criminal history and blatant disregard for the law have caught up with him. His prison sentence should serve as a deterrent to others who would engage in similar narcotics offenses.’
