Martin Felder, Jr., of Orlando, was sentenced to 12 years in federal prison for possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine by U.S. District Judge Susan C. Bucklew. The court also ordered Felder to forfeit assets, which are traceable to proceeds of the offense. Felder had pleaded guilty on October 20, 2022.
According to court documents, Felder, a previously convicted felon, was under investigation for narcotics distribution in the Tampa Bay area. On two subsequent occasions, Felder sold methamphetamine and heroin to a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) confidential source. A forensic laboratory test of the narcotics seized indicated that the methamphetamine was “ICE” – which is very high purity methamphetamine.
This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration Tampa District Office. It was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida.
