Nine more individuals have been sentenced to federal prison for their role in a multi-state methamphetamine trafficking conspiracy, including seven from Middle Tennessee and two from California, announced U.S. Attorney Don Cochran of the Middle District of Tennessee.
During the past week, the following individuals were sentenced by Chief U.S. District Court Judge Waverly D. Crenshaw, Jr:
Brian Randall, 51, of Castalian Springs, Tenn., was previously sentenced in February 2017 to 24 years in prison.
According to court documents, between February 2015 and July 2016, Herbert and Brenda McGinnis shipped numerous kilograms of methamphetamine from California to the home of Jason Johnston in Lebanon, Tenn., and to Brian Randall’s home in Castalian Springs, Tenn., through FedEx and the U.S. Postal Service. Randall then mailed cash payments back to California and sold the methamphetamine to mid-level and street-level dealers in middle Tennessee for resale. During this investigation, agents seized over $60,000 in cash, numerous firearms, seven cars, two boats and approximately 5 kilograms of methamphetamine from members of the conspiracy.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation; the United States Postal Inspection Service; the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation; the Lebanon Police Department; the Metro-Nashville Police Department; and the 15th Judicial District Drug Task Force. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Ahmed A. Safeeullah.
