Defendant Sentenced on Federal Drug Charge

United States Attorney Kenyen R. Brown of the Southern District of Alabama announced today that Timothy Dewayne Hunt, of Mobile, was sentenced to 15 months’ imprisonment, following a May 2013 guilty plea to a charge of possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance. The charge arose from a July 27, 2012 traffic stop in which Hunt was found in possession of marijuana and powder cocaine. The sentence was imposed by Senior U.S. District Court Judge Charles R. Butler, Jr. During the same court proceeding, Judge Butler also imposed a consecutive sentence of 10 months based upon a revocation of Hunt’s supervised release on an earlier federal conviction.

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Safe Streets Task Force, with assistance from the Mobile and Fairhope Police Departments. The case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Alabama.
