East Ridge Meth Dealer Gets 168 Months In Federal Prison

  • Saturday, December 3, 2016

A man who agents said was dealing large quantities of meth from his East Ridge residence has been sentenced to serve 168 months in federal prison.

Kenneth Lemons appeared before Judge Curtis Collier.

Agents said they made several controlled drug buys from Lemons at his residence in 2015.

On Oct. 27, 2015, he drove up to a residence where DEA agents were making a controlled meth buy from another target. Agents watched the target walk to Lemons' truck and purchase 71 grams of ICE meth.

Lemons was arrested a short time later.

A search of his residence turned up 49 grams of meth.

He admitted to selling "a quantity of rock salt mixed with meth" earlier in the day.
