Fitzgerald man handed federal court sentence, two found illegally in southwest Georgia

A metro-Atlanta resident who was trafficking methamphetamine through the Middle District of Georgia from an Atlanta source when he attempted to flee police on Interstate 75 was sentenced to serve more than 17 years in federal prison this week for his crime.

ALBANY — Charles Peeler, United States Attorney for the Middle District of Georgia, announced earlier this week the sentencing of a Fitzgerald man on a drug charge, while two individuals were indicted last month for illegal reentry after being found in southwest Georgia.

Lakevis Woodard, 31, of Fitzgerald, was sentenced to serve 24 months in federal prison for possession with intent to distribute cocaine base before U.S. District Court Judge Leslie J. Abrams in Albany on Sept. 13.
