MACON, GA -- Three Southwest Georgia drug dealers are headed to federal prison.

32-year-old Corey Faison of Valdosta, 40-year-old Jerome Fletcher of Albany, and 39-year-old Joe Nathan Morgan of Baker County entered guilty pleas before being sentenced today. All three pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine.

United States Attorney Michael Moore said, “We will continue to attack the scourge of cocaine and methamphetamine distribution in the Middle District of Georgia.  The prosecution and sentencing of these Defendants, who will spend a combined total of almost fifty years in prison, should be taken as a message to those who want to sell drugs.  We are going to catch you and put you in prison for a long time.”
