An Orange County methamphetamine dealer has been sentenced to prison.
U.S. District Judge Roy B. Dalton sentenced Jennifer Lee Branham, of Orlando, to six years in federal prison for possession of methamphetamine with the intent to distribute it in Central Florida.
According to court documents, in early 2022, Branham sold controlled substances to a confidential source in Orange County. Based on those drug sales, on February 23, 2022, deputies from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant at Branham’s residence.
Inside her bedroom, detectives located over 200 grams of methamphetamine, a scale, small baggies, various other controlled substances, and a loaded 9mm Springfield semi-automatic handgun.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Karyna Valdes. Branham had pleaded guilty on July 26, 2023.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
