Dyersburg 男子贩毒获刑31年：曾因同类罪名服刑151个月，监管释放期间再犯
美国司法部田纳西西区联邦检察官办公室10月23日宣布，田纳西州 Dyersburg 居民 Vinson Brent Taylor（46岁）因毒品贩运罪被联邦法院判处总计31年监禁。联邦检察官 D. Michael Dunavant 公布了这一判决。
法庭证据显示，2024年8月，Dyersburg 警局一名警员巡逻时目睹两名男子在一处住宅前斗殴，两人见警员到场后逃离。警员在现场发现一辆未熄火、驾驶座车门大开的租赁车辆，车内有大量可卡因毒品（crack cocaine）和250多粒芬太尼药丸，以及大麻、摇头丸和一种后经检测确认为冰毒的物质。中控台附近有 Taylor 的手机和一份以他名义签署的租车协议；车旁一顶带独特刺绣的帽子经田纳西州调查局法医分析检出 Taylor 的 DNA。
Taylor 的犯罪记录包括：至少3次贩卖可卡因定罪、3次逃避执法定罪、6次持有与贩运大麻定罪、1次报复执法人员定罪、2次袭击定罪，逮捕记录超过46次。2026年5月5日，联邦陪审团裁定他贩运可卡因与芬太尼两项罪名成立；10月20日，联邦地区法官 S. Thomas Anderson 在量刑听证会上指出其罪行性质严重、犯罪历史漫长，判处30年监禁。
Taylor 此前曾因贩运可卡因在联邦监狱服刑151个月，本案发生时正处于联邦监管释放期。政府另提交证据显示，他在监管释放期间还于2024年4月持有800多克大麻、2024年10月逃避警察追查，因此被加判1年监禁，合计31年。联邦刑期没有假释。
联邦检察官 D. Michael Dunavant 说，Taylor 是个屡教不改的毒贩，在因同样行为接受监管释放期间仍公然向乡村社区分销致命的芬太尼；他没有从此前的12年半刑期中吸取教训，如今将被隔离在西田纳西社区之外，直到77岁。田纳西州调查局局长 David Rausch 表示，该局与执法伙伴将继续全力追查助长这场致命毒品疫情的非法分销者。
此案由田纳西州调查局、Dyersburg 警局、美国特勤局与联邦监狱局调查，联邦助理检察官 Immanuel Chioco 与 Adam Davis 负责起诉。
Dyersburg Man Sentenced to 31 Years for Drug Trafficking While on Supervised Release for the Same Crime
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Tennessee announced on October 23 that Vinson Brent Taylor, 46, of Dyersburg, Tennessee, has been sentenced to a total of 31 years in federal prison for drug trafficking offenses. U.S. Attorney D. Michael Dunavant announced the sentence.
According to evidence presented in court, in August 2024 a Dyersburg Police Department officer on patrol witnessed two men fighting in front of a residence; both fled when the officer arrived. The officer found a rental vehicle left running with its driver-side door wide open. The vehicle contained a large quantity of crack cocaine and over 250 fentanyl pills, as well as marijuana, ecstasy, and a substance later identified as methamphetamine. Near the center console were Taylor's cellphone and a car rental agreement in his name, and forensic analysis by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation determined that a distinctive embroidered hat found near the vehicle contained Taylor's DNA.
Taylor's criminal history includes at least three convictions for selling cocaine, three for evading law enforcement, six for possessing and trafficking marijuana, one for retaliating against a law enforcement officer, two for assaults, and over 46 prior arrests. On May 5, 2026, a federal jury found him guilty on two counts of trafficking crack cocaine and fentanyl. At an October 20, 2026 sentencing hearing, U.S. District Judge S. Thomas Anderson noted the serious nature of the crime and Taylor's extensive criminal history and sentenced him to 30 years in prison.
Taylor had previously served a 151-month federal sentence for trafficking crack cocaine and was on federal supervised release when he committed this crime. The government presented additional evidence that while on supervised release he possessed over 800 grams of marijuana in April 2024 and evaded police in October 2024, resulting in an additional year of imprisonment, for a total of 31 years. There is no parole in the federal system.
'Taylor is a hard-headed recidivist drug dealer who was brazenly distributing deadly fentanyl into our rural communities while on supervised release for the same conduct. He clearly did not learn his lesson from his prior 12-and-a-half-year prison sentence, so he will now be removed from West Tennessee until he is 77 years old,' U.S. Attorney Dunavant said. TBI Director David Rausch said his agency and its law enforcement partners will continue to vigorously pursue those who fuel the deadly epidemic by illegally distributing these substances.
The case was investigated by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, the Dyersburg Police Department, the United States Secret Service, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Immanuel Chioco and Adam Davis prosecuted the case.
