Drug trafficker sentenced to over 14 years imprisonment for distributing Fentanyl

TOOMBS COUNTY, Ga. (WTOC) - A Toombs County resident with two prior drug trafficking convictions has been sentenced to federal prison after pleading guilty to distribution of fentanyl.

Frank Jamal Rashad Curry, 36, was charged in May 2025 with three counts of distribution of a fentanyl, said U.S Attorney Margaret E. Heap.

Following a guilty plea, Curry was sentenced to 155 months of imprisonment on February 4, 2026. Curry was sentenced to an additional, consecutive 18 months for committing the crimes while on supervised release.

“Fentanyl is a horrific and deadly drug. Holding those who distribute it accountable is profoundly important to keeping our community safe.” said U.S. Attorney Heap. “The U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of Georgia will continue to prosecute those who profit from this deadly substance.”

According to court documents and in court testimony, Curry, who was being supervised by the United States Probation Office for a prior drug-trafficking conviction, distributed pressed fentanyl pills over the course of several months in 2024.

“This investigation targeted a repeat drug trafficker who continued distributing fentanyl despite prior convictions and federal supervision,” said GBI Director Chris Hosey. “By holding Frank Jamal Rashad Curry accountable, we are reinforcing our commitment to stopping the flow of fentanyl into Georgia communities. The GBI will continue working alongside our local, state, and federal partners to investigate and dismantle fentanyl distribution networks.”

This case was investigated by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Darron J. Hubbard.
