TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA – 44-year-old Ennis Alexander Andrews, a habitual drug trafficker, was sentenced to 264 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to possession with intent to distribute alpha-Pyrrolidinopentiophenone, commonly known as “alpha-pyrrolidinovalerophenone,” “alpha-PVP,” or “Molly.”
According to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Florida, investigators conducted a series of controlled drug purchases of “Molly” from Andrews between August and October 2022. After warrants for his arrest were obtained, officers attempted to apprehend him on October 13, 2022. Andrews attempted to flee, but was eventually detained and found to be in possession of several ounces of the illicit substance.
“Our local, state, and federal law enforcement partners work tirelessly to keep us safe by removing addictive and deadly controlled substances from our communities,” said U.S. Attorney Jason R. Coody. “We remain committed to support their efforts through the investigation and prosecution of criminals bringing drugs into North Florida. The imposed sentences illustrate the significant consequences of harming our citizens through their illicit drug trafficking activities.”
The investigation was a joint effort between the Tallahassee Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Eric K. Mountin. Andrews’ sentence will be followed by 6 additional years of supervised release.
Chief of Police Lawrence Revell of the Tallahassee Police Department praised the collaboration between law enforcement agencies. “These dedicated efforts by investigators and the prosecution team highlight our shared commitment to addressing illegal drug activity in our community,” he said. “We know violent crime is often linked to drug activity, and it significantly reduces the quality of life for citizens. We will do everything we can to protect and serve those who call Tallahassee home.”
At the time of the investigation, Andrews was serving a term of federal supervised release imposed after his release from prison in July 2022. The United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Florida is one of 94 offices that serve as the nation’s principal litigators under the direction of the Attorney General.
