PENSACOLA, FLORIDA – Timothy Lamar McGee, 42, of Pensacola, Florida, pleaded guilty in federal court for possession of more than 500 grams of cocaine, tetrahydrocannabinol, and marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking offense.

According to court documents, in September of 2024, law enforcement executed a search warrant at McGee’s residence in Pensacola, Florida. During a search of the residence, investigators located more than 600 grams of cocaine, more than 300 grams of tetrahydrocannabinol, more than 1,000 grams of marijuana, approximately $32,000 in United States currency, and four firearms.

McGee faces a minimum mandatory term of five years of imprisonment on each charge, consecutive, and up to life in prison if convicted as charged.

The case involved a joint investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Pensacola Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Jessica S. Etherton.

Sentencing is scheduled for October 1, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at the United States Courthouse in Pensacola before United States District Judge M. Casey Rodgers.

This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.

McGee’s guilty plea is a significant blow to the operation of narcotics in the Pensacola area, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Florida remains committed to fulfilling the promise made by President Donald J. Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi to Take Back America by targeting violent criminals with the full force of the law.
