The Justice Department issued the following statement.
A Jackson man pled guilty to possession with intent to distribute over 37 grams of methamphetamine.
According to court documents, Ronald Glenn Cobbs, Jr. a/k/a Lil’ Ron a/k/a Reverend Bankroll, 39, possessed over 37 grams of methamphetamine at his business located in North Mart Plaza in Jackson.
Cobbs is scheduled to be sentenced on May 3, 2024, and faces a maximum penalty of 40 years in prison. A federal district judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
The case is the result of an extensive investigation targeting illegal drug trafficking in the Jackson, Mississippi, and surrounding areas. The case is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) investigation. OCDETF identifies, disrupts, and dismantles the highest-level drug traffickers, money launderers, gangs, and transnational criminal organizations that threaten the United States by using a prosecutor-led, intelligence-driven, multi-agency approach that leverages the strengths of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies against criminal networks.
U.S. Attorney Todd W. Gee and Acting Special Agent in Charge Steven Hofer of the Drug Enforcement Administration made the announcement.
The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives, Rankin County Sheriff’s Office, Ridgeland Police Department, and Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics.
Assistant United States Attorney Keesha Middleton is prosecuting the case.

Will the judge do his job? 40 years should be 40 years. Not a day shorter!
Good job to all involved! Thank you.
What is the name of his business?
buh-bye, loser....
Maybe the Rev can conduct a prison ministry
It’s interesting that JPD and the Hinds County Sheriff’s Department were not involved in the investigation.
37 grams, huh? Does that qualify him as a "highest-level drug trafficker, money launderer, gang, or transnational criminal organization"? Assume further arrests are forthcoming.
37 grams is chump weight. Hopefully there is more to this story.
Remember the strategy, 3:03. Start with the small fish and follow the money up the chain. It's a long time until May 4. Many opportunities for chats about the shortness of life.
I remember when a guy from Winona, attending Delta State, went to Parchman Prison for possession of a pound of marijuana. The year was 1968. He may still be there.
Perhaps this task force will start putting the pieces together…Prisons are controlling the drugs.
Who cares about 37 grams.
