Fort Myers, Florida – U.S. District Judge Sheri Polster Chappell today sentenced Antowan Jabaar Cain (45, Clewiston) to 12 years in federal prison for distribution of methamphetamine and possession of a firearm during and in relation to a drug trafficking crime. The court also ordered Cain to forfeit the firearm used during the offense. Cain pleaded guilty on February 26, 2025.

According to court documents, on December 12, 2024, Cain sold a firearm and methamphetamine in Hendry County.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), 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. On May 26, 2021, the Department launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.
