Methamphetamine Dealer Sentenced to Over 21 Years in Federal Prison

INDIANAPOLIS – Bradley Gulledge, 42, of Indianapolis, was sentenced to a total of 262 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine in two federal cases

According to court documents, on August 29, 2018, Gulledge was arrested in Indianapolis when officers executed a search warrant at his residence and located over 280 grams of pure methamphetamine, digital scales, and multiple firearms. On September 10, 2018, after Gulledge posted bond in Marion County, Gulledge was located by law enforcement officers during the execution of another search warrant and found to be in possession of over 150 grams of pure methamphetamine and a firearm.

Gulledge has multiple prior felony convictions in Indiana, including convictions for dealing in cocaine or narcotic drugs and for unlawful firearm possession by a serious violent felon.

Zachary A. Myers, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana, Superintendent Douglas Carter, Indiana State Police, R. Sean Fitzgerald, Special Agent in Charge of HSI Chicago, and Herbert J. Stapleton, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Indianapolis Field Office, made the announcement.

The Indiana State Police, Homeland Security Investigations, and the FBI investigated the cases. The sentence was imposed by Chief U.S. District Judge Tanya Walton Pratt. As part of the sentence, Judge Pratt ordered that the defendant be supervised by the U.S. Probation Office for five years following his release from federal prison.

U.S. Attorney Myers thanked Assistant U.S. Attorney Pamela S. Domash who prosecuted this case.

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 make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. The Department of Justice reinvigorated PSN in 2017 as part of the Department’s renewed focus on targeting violent criminals, directing all U.S. Attorney’s Offices to work in partnership with federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement, and the local community to develop effective, locally based strategies to reduce violent crime.
