Escambia Man Pleads Guilty To Trafficking Fentanyl, Meth, Cocaine, And Heroin
July 23, 2025
An Escambia County man pleaded guilty in federal court on multiple drug offenses.
Jermaine Zackery Lewis, 32, pleaded to conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute over 400 grams of fentanyl; possession with intent to distribute fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, and heroin; and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
In January and February 2025 Lewis was distributing fentanyl locally, according to court documents. Law enforcement intercepted a mailed parcel bound for Lewis that contained approximately four pounds of fentanyl pills. With this information, law enforcement obtained a search warrant for Lewis’ residence in March 2025. Law enforcement seized two loaded firearms, cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, and fentanyl. Wire receipts detailing money transfers to Mexico were also recovered. Lewis is a previously convicted felon.
Lewis faces up to life imprisonment when he is sentenced on October 16.
The case involved a joint investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the United States Postal Inspection Service, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, the Pensacola Police Department, and the Florida Highway Patrol.

Why Oct 16th? Let’s get this done the same day and move on. He plead guilty, so what’s the wait for?
Authorities should be giving these dealers a death sentence. The SAME sentence dealers are giving people who buy their drugs. This is attempted murder of thousands of people! Instead, it is “We The People” who pay for this creep’s food and housing. Makes no sense.
Give him what he is selling, Problem solved.
Life would be a great punishment, but we all know, lazy prosecutors and weak judges won’t pursue it.
Here’s the Thing? 400 grams of Fentanyl could kill millions of people! Then Life in prison should be the sentence of this habitual criminal. However, the Death Penalty should be an option. Criminal Fentanyl distribution laws and any illegal drug distribution that has the potential to kill should change to a Capitol 1st Degree Murder. Criminals know before hand the potential the drugs they distribute can kill, especially Fentanyl.
The War on Drugs can only be won by stopping there distribution and higher penalties could help deter criminals from selling them.
