An inmate at Wheeler Correctional Facility in Georgia was sentenced to 188 months in prison for his role in a drug trafficking conspiracy. Dequatte Tucker, 34, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances, with much of the operation directed from inside Georgia state prisons using contraband cell phones. Two co-defendants, Roger Jenkins and Corey Hill, received sentences of 84 months and 18 months, respectively. The investigation, which involved multiple law enforcement agencies, resulted in the seizure of 21 firearms and over $17,000, and led to convictions for 33 additional defendants.
