CALAB Jakwon King was sentenced to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to fentanyl trafficking in Mississippi. The sentencing occurred May 6, 2026, in Circuit Court before Judge Kelly L. Mims.
Following the plea, Judge Mims ordered King to serve 40 years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections, with 25 years suspended. He will serve the remaining 15 years and will be under five years of post-release supervision.
Under Mississippi law, individuals convicted of trafficking offenses are ineligible for parole or early release, meaning King will serve his full sentence day-for-day, according to court records.
The Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics investigated the case. Assistant District Attorney Megan French prosecuted the case on behalf of the state. District Attorney Jason D. Herring commended MBN’s efforts to combat fentanyl distribution and protect community safety.
