Methamphetamine Dealer Sentenced to Over 15 Years in Federal Prison

Jacksonville, Florida – Jaime Rosario Ang (53, Jacksonville) has been sentenced by U.S. District Judge Jordan E. Pratt to 15 years and 8 months in federal prison for two counts of distribution of 50 grams or more of methamphetamine. Ang pleaded guilty on October 6, 2025. U.S. Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe made the announcement.

According to court documents, Ang sold methamphetamine totaling over 1.2 kilograms to an undercover detective on multiple occasions between 2022 and 2023. During a separate interaction, Ang agreed to purchase a rifle from the undercover detective, who subsequently revealed himself as law enforcement. Federal agents then located and seized 517 additional grams of methamphetamine, 52 grams of fentanyl, a loaded handgun, and two additional loaded magazines from Ang’s residence.

This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Kelli Swaney.

This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime. Operation Take Back America streamlines efforts and resources from the Department’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETFs) and Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN).
