A Jackson County man will spend time behind bars for dealing drugs, including fentanyl, heroin, and cocaine.
39-year-old Bradford Thompson, Jr., pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute 100 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing heroin.
According to court documents, in May of 2022, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant on Thompson’s residence.
During the execution of the warrant, agents found suspected cocaine, fentanyl, heroin, over $30,000 in cash, and a firearm.
Laboratory tests subsequently confirmed that the controlled substances included 100 grams or more of a substance containing heroin. Field tests also confirmed the presence of fentanyl and cocaine.
Thompson is scheduled to be sentenced on February 15, 2024. He faces a minimum sentence of five years imprisonment and a maximum sentence of 40 years imprisonment.
The Drug Enforcement Administration, with assistance from the Harrison County Sheriff’s Department and the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics, investigated the case. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Buckner.
