Level Allen, a Jackson man, was sentenced to five years in federal prison for possessing methamphetamine with intent to distribute it from a local motel. The crime occurred on multiple occasions, with Allen eventually being indicted by a federal grand jury in March 2025. He pled guilty in January 2026. The investigation was led by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
The case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative aimed at repelling the invasion of illegal immigration, eliminating cartels and transnational criminal organizations, and protecting communities from violent crime. This operation streamlines efforts and resources from the Department’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces and Project Safe Neighborhood.
Allen’s sentence includes four years of supervised release after his prison term. U.S. Attorney J.E. Baxter Kruger for the Southern District of Mississippi, along with ATF Special Agent in Charge Joshua Jackson and DEA Special Agent in Charge Steven Hofer, announced the sentencing.
The conviction and sentencing of Level Allen demonstrate the commitment of law enforcement agencies to combating drug distribution and related crimes in Mississippi. Operation Take Back America is a key component of this effort, leveraging the resources of the Department of Justice to target and dismantle criminal organizations.
