A methamphetamine trafficking network that brought large quantities of the deadly drug from Atlanta to Milledgeville, Georgia, has been dismantled. The seventh and final defendant, Cory Wilson, 41, of Milledgeville, pleaded guilty on July 20 to one count of distribution of methamphetamine. The guilty plea is the result of an Operation Take Back America investigation led by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office.
The trafficking ring, which included six other codefendants, was responsible for flooding the Milledgeville area with methamphetamine. The defendants face significant prison time, with Wilson facing a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison and a maximum sentence of life in prison, as well as a $10 million fine.
The investigation and subsequent guilty pleas demonstrate the commitment of law enforcement to rid communities of armed drug trafficking networks. U.S. Attorney William R. “Will” Keyes praised the efforts of local, state, and federal law enforcement partners for their work in keeping communities safe.
Other defendants in the case have already been sentenced, including Ruby Fogg, 39, of Austell, Georgia, who was sentenced to 324 months in prison, and Robert Matthew Wood, 43, of Marietta, Georgia, who was sentenced to 262 months in prison. Wilson’s sentencing is scheduled for October 10.
