Jennings, a convicted felon, is prohibited from possessing a firearm or ammunition. The traffic stop led to his arrest and subsequent convictions for methamphetamine distribution and illegal firearm possession. On May 6, 2026, Jennings was sentenced to 130 months in federal prison.
Jennings pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon on October 6, 2025. The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, Millbrook Police Department, Montgomery Police Department, and Elmore County Drug Task Force, and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Christine Levi.
The sentence is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative aimed at combating illegal immigration, cartels, and transnational criminal organizations.
