An Atlanta, Georgia, man has been sentenced to 35 years in federal prison following a methamphetamine-trafficking conspiracy that investigators say stretched across four states, including a 2023 arrest during a traffic stop in Mobile.
Kenyatta Lee Frazier, 45, received a 420-month prison sentence after a federal jury in October 2025 convicted him of drug trafficking and firearm charges, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Alabama. Evidence presented at the weeklong trial showed Frazier manufactured and distributed tens of thousands of pressed methamphetamine pills throughout Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Mississippi between September 2022 and August 2024, marketing them to customers as ecstasy.
Prosecutors said the jury reviewed photos and videos, taken by Frazier himself, documenting pills produced with an illegal pill press.
Agents arrested Frazier and a co-conspirator in April 2023 during a traffic stop in Mobile after the pair had delivered 2,000 pressed methamphetamine pills to a customer in Mississippi. A court-authorized recording device inside the vehicle had captured Frazier discussing drug deals and profits with co-conspirators, according to court documents.
During the stop, agents searching the vehicle found a loaded .380-caliber pistol concealed behind plastic molding in the floorboard near where Frazier had been sitting. The firearm had previously been reported stolen out of Pinellas County, Florida. Prosecutors said the jury also heard a recorded jail call in which Frazier admitted hiding the gun so police would not find it, along with text messages showing Frazier had tried to sell the same pistol.
At the time he possessed the firearm, Frazier had already been convicted of at least eight prior felonies, including robbery, aggravated assault, firearms offenses, theft and drug crimes, according to prosecutors.
Chief U.S. District Judge Jeffrey U. Beaverstock, in addition to the prison term, ordered Frazier to serve 10 years of supervised release upon completion of his sentence, during which he will be subject to drug testing and treatment. The court also ordered Frazier to pay $300 in special assessments and forfeited the .380-caliber pistol to the United States. No fine was imposed.
The case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Justin Roller and George May prosecuted the case for the government.
Officials said the prosecution was carried out under the Homeland Security Task Force initiative, a multi-agency effort aimed at investigating and prosecuting drug trafficking organizations and related violent crime operating in the region.
