Clinch County Ex-Spouses Guilty for Trafficking Methamphetamine
Defendant Sentenced to More than 24 Years in Prison; Former Wife Awaiting Sentencing
VALDOSTA, Ga. – A Clinch County, Georgia, man involved in a methamphetamine trafficking network linked to a Mexican source of supply in Atlanta was sentenced to serve more than 24 years in prison, after he and his former spouse admitted to their roles in the crime.
Crage Bernard Harris, 47, of Homerville, Georgia, was sentenced to serve 295 months in prison to be followed by five years of supervised release on Jan. 28, after he previously pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine on July 1, 2025.
Co-defendant, Bridget Denise Harris, 53, of Homerville, pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine on July 1, 2025. Bridget Harris faces a mandatory minimum of ten years up to a maximum of life in prison and a $10 million fine. Her sentencing hearing is scheduled for March 19.
Senior U.S. District Judge W. Louis Sands is presiding over the case. There is no parole in the federal system.
“Trafficking methamphetamine and other addictive illegal drugs in the Middle District of Georgia will not be tolerated,” said U.S. Attorney William R. “Will” Keyes. “Law enforcement agencies at every level are working together to stop the flow of illegal drugs into our communities and hold all those profiting from these deadly substances accountable for their crimes.”
“Methamphetamine trafficking fuels addiction, violence and instability in our communities,” said Jae W. Chung, Special Agent in Charge of the DEA Atlanta Field Division. “This significant sentence removes a dangerous trafficker from our streets and helps make our communities safer.”
“This case highlights the reach and danger of methamphetamine trafficking networks and the damage they cause in our communities,” said GBI Director Chris Hosey.
“Through strong partnerships with our state, local and federal law enforcement partners, we will continue to target those who profit from these drugs and hold them accountable.”
“I want to express my sincere thanks to the DEA and the GBI for their unwavering dedication and hard work in helping to keep drugs off the streets,” said Clinch County Sheriff Raymond Peterson.
According to court documents and statements in court, Crage Harris was under investigation for methamphetamine distribution from a Mexican source in 2022, after federal agents discovered packages containing illegal drugs delivered to a residence on Travis Lane in Clinch County, Georgia, associated with him. Based on the suspicion of drug trafficking, additional multi-agency surveillance continued at the Travis Lane location. A search warrant was executed at Travis Lane in April 2022 following the delivery of several packages, under surveillance by the GBI and the Clinch County Sheriff’s Office. Harris’s former wife, co-defendant Bridget Harris, was seen placing the packages in the trunk of a car. Inside the packages, agents found bottles containing liquid methamphetamine and seized approximately 731 grams of methamphetamine.
The DEA, the GBI, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Clinch County, Georgia, Sheriff’s Office investigated the case, with assistance from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
Assistant U.S. Attorney Sonja Profit is prosecuting the case for the Government.
