A Meridian man was sentenced Tuesday to 300 months in prison for drug manufacturing and drug trafficking.

According to court documents, law enforcement recovered over 87 pounds of methamphetamine, 45 pounds of fentanyl, and 35 pounds of cocaine, two different pill press machines, 13 firearms, and one suppressor from a residence occupied by Jabreon Deshon Mosley, 35.

The Drug Enforcement Administration Jackson and Birmingham District Offices, the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics, and the East Mississippi Drug Task Force investigated the case.
