A resident of Toombs County, Georgia, has been sentenced to over 14 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to distributing fentanyl. Frank Jamal Rashad Curry, 36, faced charges stemming from three counts of fentanyl distribution in violation of federal law. U.S. Attorney Margaret E. Heap announced that Curry was sentenced on February 4, 2026, by District Court Judge J. Randal Hall to 155 months in prison. He received an additional consecutive sentence of 18 months because he committed the offenses while under supervised release for a previous drug trafficking conviction.
U.S. Attorney Heap commented on the case: “Fentanyl is a horrific and deadly drug. Holding those who distribute it accountable is profoundly important to keeping our community safe.” She added, “The U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of Georgia will continue to prosecute those who profit from this deadly substance.”
Court records show that Curry distributed pressed fentanyl pills over several months in 2024 while being supervised by the United States Probation Office due to a prior conviction for drug trafficking.
GBI Director Chris Hosey addressed the outcome: “This investigation targeted a repeat drug trafficker who continued distributing fentanyl despite prior convictions and federal supervision,” he said. “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.”
