Fort Wayne Man Sentenced to 10 Years

FORT WAYNE – Gregory Huddleston, age 39, of Fort Wayne, Indiana was sentenced before U.S. District Court Judge Holly A. Brady upon his guilty plea to distribution of a controlled substance, announced U.S. Attorney Kirsch.

Huddleston was sentenced to 120 months in prison followed by 5 years of supervised release.

According to documents in the case, beginning in November 2017, the Fort Wayne Police Department began receiving anonymous tips regarding drug trafficking activity by Huddleston and others associated with Huddleston at a particular address in Fort Wayne. On July 11, 2018, a confidential informant made a recorded telephone call to Huddleston to arrange for the purchase of one ounce of methamphetamine and a quantity of heroin. During this recorded call, Huddleston instructed the confidential informant to go to a nearby store and wait and someone would be there soon with the drugs.

A short time later, surveillance officers in the area of that store observed a known associate of Huddleston arrive at the store and met with the confidential informant. That associate gave the confidential informant one ounce of methamphetamine and a small amount of heroin. These were the same amounts of the same drugs agreed upon earlier by the confidential informant and Huddleston.

The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives and the Fort Wayne Police Department Vice & Narcotics Unit.  The case was handled by Assistant United States Attorney Lesley J. Miller Lowery.
