Madison-Rankin District Attorney Bubba Bramlett issued the following statement.
Madison and Rankin County District Attorney Bubba Bramlett, Jr. announced that on June 24, 2024, Judge Dewey Arthur sentenced Denarious Evans, 24, to twenty-five years without the possibility of parole for the sale of fentanyl.
On three separate occasions in August and November of 2023, agents with Madison Police Department and Gluckstadt Police Department conducted days of surveillance which showed several drug transactions between Evans and confidential informants in the cities of Madison and Gluckstadt.
Evans was previously convicted in April 2024 for Felon in Possession of a Firearm and Possession of a Stolen Firearm from charges out of the city of Ridgeland, MS. He was sentenced to fifteen years for those offenses. Evans has three (3) other prior felony convictions from Madison, Oktibbeha and Leake counties for various crimes including possession of a stolen firearm, business burglary, and introduction of contraband into a correctional facility. District Attorney Bramlett stated, “Let this young man’s sentence be a reminder to not sell fentanyl in Madison and Rankin Counties. We take this crime very seriously because people are dying every day from fentanyl overdoses. Additionally, Denarious Evans is only 24 years old and had already been convicted of at least four felonies before he came before Judge Arthur on these sale charges. Due to the large number of prior convictions and the amount of fentanyl pills he sold, he will have to serve everyday of this sentence. We would like to thank both MPD and GPD for their great work on this case and all they are doing trying to stop the flow of deadly fentanyl into our counties.”

This is obviously not Hinds "Blessings" County.
Fentanyl is only legal if you go to your state and federally approved drug dealer to get it
“If it don’t say Sackler, it’s Wackler”
Maybe in year 2049 after he is released he can drive a lawn mower for the state of Mississippi. He apparently has enough time to learn his new trade. Of course, he may want to apply to medical school instead.
That facial expression indicates he has no idea of his 20+ year future. We are paying for it, but I guess that is okay.
Until law enforcement starts attacking the demand side of the drug industry, they are only spinning their wheels.

I don't see how law enforcement can do much to reduce demand. That's more of a social issue.
Anon, it's quite simple actually, throw users in prison for a long time. Correcting bad behavior is easy if you want it to be. The illegal drug trade is a business that is performed to fulfill demand just like any other business. If you reduce the demand, there is no need for the supply.
Fully funding the A&D programs at Whitfield would be a good start.
@ 5:31,
If you ain't eatin' Wham, you ain't eatin' ham.
Fully funding Whitfield programs is not where it began. It began in homes with children not being held accountable or taught consequences for bad behavior. LEO’s are officers of the Courts and Laws whether state or federal period! Our country has allowed these drugs & people to take over & wreak havoc in our communities through, drugs, open borders etc. Just remember what KF posted about a robbery in Bridgewater happening in March I believe with immigrants from Chile & Colombia illegally driving from Miami to rob a home owner while they were working, supporting their American Dream. These immigrants are in jail now & more than likely also bring Fentanyl into the US. Great job & thanks to alll LEO’s fighting our battles every day!
@8:15am Take a look at Singapore's model....pretty much zero drugs in that country and completely due to LAW ENFORCEMENT.
If a behavior is tolerated, it's also being promoted and reinforced.
What about all the women on their xannies driving around?
Why the hell would anybody buy a firearm pre-loaded for Russian Roulette? That's what fentanyl is.
8:22...The buyer might not know. Some of these pills are passed off to the user as hydrocodone or oxycodone, and surprise...it's counterfeit and it's actually fentanyl. And then, you're in deep doodoo.
Everyone should know by now that drugs are not good for you. Why in the world would a person decide they just have to try something that could easily kill them? I could never understand why anyone would start smoking cigarettes and can not believe anyone would freely choose to take drugs.
June 28, 2024 at 8:21 AM, why don't you coordinate with law enforcement, set up road blocks, checking for Xanax impaired drivers, and report back.
@10:55am Completely rational statement/question...
"Everyone should know by now that drugs are not good for you. Why in the world would a person decide they just have to try something that could easily kill them? I could never understand why anyone would start smoking cigarettes and can not believe anyone would freely choose to take drugs."
Substance use is a form of self-medication - attempting to escape, or mask the true pain of abandonment, rejection, and criticism that is rife throughout modern American society. China has done their research, and long ago realized they could just mass deliver Fentanyl and pretty much kill a very large number of "unhappy" people....especially very unhappy youth who didn't ask to be born into such a fucked up world.
