Jackson Man Sentenced to 16 Years for Fentanyl Trafficking in Madison County

Madison and Rankin Counties’ District Attorney Bubba Bramlett announced that Blayne Timothee Jones, 30, of Jackson, Mississippi, has been sentenced to sixteen years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections for trafficking in fentanyl. Judge Steve S. Ratcliff imposed the sentence, requiring Jones to serve the full sixteen years without the possibility of parole or early release.

The case originated on October 26, 2023, when a Madison County Sheriff’s officer conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle driven by Jones. During the stop, Jones informed the officer that he was on probation and that his driver’s license had been suspended. The officer also detected the odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. A subsequent probable cause search revealed a small quantity of marijuana.

Following the search, Jones and his passenger were taken to the Madison Police Department, where officers discovered M30 fentanyl pills in Jones’ possession.

“We hope this is the end to Jones’ criminal behavior and that this sentence will discourage others from choosing to make money by trafficking illegal drugs in and through our county, state, and country,” stated District Attorney Bubba Bramlett. “We appreciate the hard work of the Madison County Sheriff’s Department and Madison Police Department officers for removing Jones and more of these deadly fentanyl pills off our streets.”
