Jefferson County Man Sentenced to Three Years in Prison

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – A Jefferson County man has been sentenced for drug trafficking, announced U.S. Attorney Prim F. Escalona.

United States District Judge R. David Proctor sentenced Tyreses Katino Bosha, 25, of Birmingham, Alabama, to 37 months in prison for distribution of methamphetamine.

According to the plea agreement, in October 2023, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency and Homeland Security Investigations were investing narcotics trafficking involving Bosha. On October 12, 2023, as part of the investigation, a confidential source (CS) met Bosha at a restaurant to purchase a half pound of methamphetamine for $1400. The CS waited several minutes in the parking lot before Bosha called the CS and instructed them to drive around to the back of the restaurant. The CS complied, and Bosha drove up next to the CS—driver door to driver door. The CS then provided the money to Bosha in exchange for the agreed amount of methamphetamine.

Homeland Security Investigations investigated the case along with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency. Assistant U.S. Attorney Alan Kirk prosecuted the case.
