Three Individuals Trafficked Methamphetamine Through Orlando Airport

Three individuals were trafficking methamphetamine through the Orlando airport from Los Angeles, and now they will serve time in prison.




U.S. District Judge Paul G. Byron has sentenced three individuals for their roles in a multi-kilogram methamphetamine trafficking conspiracy. Each of the individuals charged in the case previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine.

The defendants were sentenced as follows:

Name Sentence Imposed

48-year-old Jevonn Clayton

13 years, 2 months

41-year-old Richardson Sid

6 years, 6 months

46-year-old Venus Lott

5 years

According to court documents, on August 11, 2022, Clayton agreed to transport suitcases containing methamphetamine from Los Angeles to Orlando on behalf of a drug trafficker. Shortly thereafter, Clayton and the drug trafficker recruited Lott and Sid to travel to California to assist in transporting the suitcases.

On August 16, 2022, Clayton, Lott, and Sid departed Los Angeles for Orlando, with five suitcases packed with large amounts of methamphetamine. Agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation were investigating inbound flights at the Orlando airport.

The agents located and searched the suitcases belonging to Clayton, Lott, and Sid and recovered several vacuum-sealed bags that contained more than 35 kilograms of methamphetamine.




This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, with valuable assistance from the Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Noah P. Dorman.
