FLORIDA – A Florida ice methamphetamine dealer has been sentenced to more than a decade in federal prison.
U.S. District Judge Susan C. Bucklew has sentenced Martin Felder, Jr., 43, of Orlando, to 12 years in federal prison for possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine. The court also ordered Felder to forfeit assets, which are traceable to the proceeds of the offense.
Felder pleaded guilty on October 20, 2022.
According to court documents, Felder, a previously convicted felon, was under investigation for narcotics distribution in the Tampa Bay area. On two subsequent occasions, Felder reportedly sold methamphetamine and heroin to a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) confidential source.
A forensic laboratory test of the narcotics seized reportedly indicated that the methamphetamine was “ice,” which is very high-purity methamphetamine.
The Drug Enforcement Administration investigated this case. Assistant United States Attorneys Callan Albritton and Maria Guzman prosecuted it.
