A Beaumont man has been sentenced to federal prison for drug trafficking violations in the Eastern District of Texas, announced U.S. Attorney Brit Featherston today.
Patrick Dwayne Gipson, 38, pleaded guilty on March 2, 2022, to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing methamphetamine.
On February 6, 2020, local law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at a Beaumont residence controlled by Gipson and others. Through the investigation, law enforcement seized thousands of pills, purported to be ecstasy, that contained methamphetamine.
Gipson is the last defendant of the conspiracy to be sentenced. Earlier this month, fellow conspirators were sentenced to federal prison: Travion Dewayne Parkerson was sentenced to 97 months, Wendall James Kirtman received 84 months, and Kobe Jashawn Grimes was sentenced to 70 months.
This case was investigated by the Beaumont Police Department, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Jefferson County Regional Crime Laboratory. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan C. Lee prosecuted the case.
The sentence was handed down by U.S. District Judge Marcia A. Crone on February 14, 2023.
Gipson’s sentence of 119 months in federal prison reflects the severity of the charges and the gravity of the offense.
