BOSTON – A Webster man was sentenced on May 8, 2026 in federal court in Worcester for distributing crystal methamphetamine.

Giang Tran, 36, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Margaret R. Guzman to 10 years in prison, to be followed by five years of supervised release. In January 2026, Tran pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute and to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances (involving 50 grams or more of methamphetamine) and distribution of methamphetamine.
