In a shocking turn of events, Willie Frank Harvis, a 62-year-old man from Enterprise, Alabama, has been sentenced to serve 74 months in prison for his involvement in a gun and drug trafficking operation in the region.
The charges against Harvis include possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute and being a felon in possession of multiple firearms. Following his prison sentence, Harvis will be on supervised release for three years, with no parole in the federal system.

The charges against him are a stark reminder of the dangers of gun and drug trafficking and the need for law enforcement to take a proactive approach in addressing these issues.
The investigation into Harvis’s activities was a collaborative effort between the ATF, the Coffee County Sheriff’s Office, the Enterprise Police Department, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, and the DEA. Assistant United States Attorney Russell T. Duraski prosecuted the case.
