Nicholus Tysharrow McNabb, 39, of Fort Walton Beach, Florida, has been sentenced to 216 months (18 years) in federal prison after pleading guilty to charges of possession with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine and money laundering. The sentence was announced by Jason R. Coody, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Florida.
Between December 2022 and January 2023, the United States Postal Inspection Service intercepted multiple packages containing methamphetamine intended for delivery to McNabb’s address. On February 23, 2023, a search warrant executed by the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office, with assistance from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Drug Enforcement Administration, and the United States Postal Inspection Service, led to the discovery of approximately 10 pounds of methamphetamine and over $23,000 in cash at McNabb’s residence. The investigation revealed McNabb had distributed over 35 pounds of methamphetamine between March 16, 2022, and February 23, 2023.
The investigation involved the collaborative efforts of the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office, the United States Postal Inspection Service, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Jeffrey M. Tharp.
