Mississippi Man Sentenced to 25 Years for Pressing Fentanyl Into Pills in Cross-State Drug Conspiracy
A Mississippi man has been sentenced to 25 years in federal prison for his role in a drug-trafficking conspiracy involving fentanyl pills, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Alabama announced on November 9. Jabreon Deshon Mosley, Jr., 36, of Meridian, Mississippi, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Edmund G. LaCour to 300 months in prison.
A federal jury had convicted Mosley of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine and fentanyl, and of using a communication facility to commit a drug-trafficking crime.
According to evidence presented at trial, Mosley worked with co-conspirators from the Birmingham and Tuscaloosa areas, including Hanston Clark, who provided him powder fentanyl and methamphetamine that Mosley would press into pill form for distribution. Between August and October 2023, agents intercepted the two discussing their drug operation several times over a court-authorized wiretap of Clark's telephone. Law enforcement in Mississippi then searched Mosley's home and recovered 36,056.76 grams of methamphetamine, 7,403.20 grams of cocaine, 18,601.53 grams of fentanyl, 13 firearms, a suppressor, body armor, and two pill presses.
Hanston Alexander Clark, 34, of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, pleaded guilty in December 2025 to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine and fentanyl, and was sentenced to 121 months in prison.
U.S. Attorney Phillip W. Williams Jr. said the defendant distributed dangerous pills across Alabama and Mississippi, putting lives and communities at risk, and has now been held accountable. The Drug Enforcement Administration investigated the case with assistance from federal and state partners. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Allison J. Garnett, Ryan S. Rummage, and Brittany T. Byrd are prosecuting the case.
