Calhoun County Man Sentenced to Over Ten Years in Prison for Drug Trafficking
Operation Take Back America
ANNISTON, Ala. – A Calhoun County man has been sentenced for trafficking methamphetamine, announced U.S. Attorney Phillip W. Williams Jr.
U.S. District Court Judge Corey L. Maze sentenced Quinton Montral Gunn aka “Poo Nanny,” 45, to 126 months in prison. In May, Gunn pleaded guilty to three counts of distribution of methamphetamine.
“Drug dealers who plague our streets with methamphetamine put our communities and our families at risk, and we will not stop pursuing them,” said U.S. Attorney Williams. “Our law enforcement partners and prosecutors work tirelessly to ensure these dangerous and illegal drugs and dealers are removed from our streets. If you choose to profit from putting methamphetamine or any illegal drugs into our communities, you should expect to be held accountable in federal court.”
“If you choose to flood our neighborhoods with methamphetamine, you aren’t just running a criminal enterprise, you are reserving a spot in federal prison,” said Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent in Charge John P. Scott, New Orleans Field Division. “This 126-month sentence should serve as a blunt warning to every dealer pushing poison: law enforcement is hunting you down with unprecedented fury, and we will not rest until you are locked behind bars.”
According to court documents, during three separate controlled drug transactions in 2023, Gunn sold methamphetamine to a confidential source (CS). On September 7, 2023, as part of the investigation, the CS met Gunn at Parkwin Kitchen to purchase two ounces of methamphetamine for $500. On October 6, 2023, the CS met Gunn at a location on Parkin Avenue to purchase three ounces of methamphetamine for $675. A third controlled purchase was conducted on September 30, 2024, the CS met Gunn at Gunn’s residence in Anniston to purchase three ounces of methamphetamine for $450.
This case is part of Operation Take Back America a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.
DEA investigated the case along with the 7th Judicial Major Crimes Unit. Assistant United States Attorney Brittany T. Byrd prosecuted the case.
