Armed Drug Dealer Sentenced in Federal Court

United States Attorney Richard W. Moore of the Southern District of Alabama announced that Anthony Ahn Le, 21, of Daphne, Alabama, was sentenced today to 121 months on three federal charges relating to drugs and guns.  In July of 2019, Le entered a guilty plea to one count of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute marijuana, and two counts of using, carrying or possessing a firearm during or in relation to a drug trafficking felony.  

United States District Court Judge Jeffery U. Beaverstock imposed the 121 month sentence on February 10, 2020.  Specifically, Le was sentenced to 60 months on each of the gun counts, which are required by statute to be served consecutively to all other sentences.  Le was sentenced to one month on the drug count, which will also be consecutive.  Judge Beaverstock ordered that Le will serve a term of five years under supervised release when he is discharged from prison.  The judge also ordered that Le will pay special assessments of $300. 

The case was investigated by the Foley Police Department, the Daphne Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.  It was prosecuted in the United States Attorney’s Office by Assistant United States Attorney Gloria Bedwell.
