佐治亚州Ellenwood冰毒转化实验室案主犯判16年3个月：四人制造贩运逾770公斤冰毒
美国司法部佐治亚北区联邦检察官办公室10月29日宣布，佐治亚州 Ellenwood 一处住宅冰毒转化实验室案主犯 Florencio Magana-Sarabia（44岁，原籍墨西哥 Michoacán、非法居留美国）当日被联邦地区法官 Steve C. Jones 判处16年3个月联邦监禁，其后监管释放5年；同案另三名被告此前已分别获刑，四人涉及的冰毒总量逾770公斤。
Magana-Sarabia 今年7月28日认罪，罪名是共谋持有并意图分销冰毒，以及在贩毒犯罪中持有枪支。佐治亚北区联邦检察官 Theodore S. Hertzberg 表示，该被告与同伙在一处居民区住宅内囤积并分销数量惊人的致命冰毒，联邦与州执法伙伴的快速行动捣毁了这一贩毒网络。
案情始于2023年10月20日：联邦探员调查 Ellenwood 一处住宅的毒品活动时，看到数名男子往一辆 Toyota Tacoma 皮卡上装箱，随即协调佐治亚州巡警在皮卡离开后拦截，从司机 Luis Santiago Urrutia-Mata 与乘客 Jose Luis Avalos-Menera 处查获134公斤冰毒晶体。
探员随后搜查由 Magana-Sarabia 租住的该住宅，发现一座大型秘密冰毒转化实验室，内有260公斤成品冰毒晶体与100加仑仍为液态的冰毒，并查获3支枪。搜查中，第三名同案被告 Erik Santana-Sanchez 企图逃离实验室被当场抓获，缉毒局（DEA）其后确认他参与在该住宅内制造冰毒。
同案三人此前已判刑：Jose Avalos-Menera（40岁）获刑108个月、Luis Urrutia-Mata（26岁）获刑78个月、Erik Santana-Sanchez（39岁）获刑78个月，三人刑满后均须监管释放。本案由缉毒局主导调查、佐治亚州巡警协助，助理联邦检察官 Johnny Baer 起诉，属司法部「夺回美国行动」（Operation Take Back America）的一部分。
Georgia Ellenwood Meth Lab Ringleader Sentenced to 16 Years 3 Months: Four Men Manufactured and Trafficked Over 770 Kilograms of Methamphetamine
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Georgia announced on October 29 that Florencio Magana-Sarabia, 44, an illegal alien from Michoacán, Mexico, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Steve C. Jones to 16 years and 3 months in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release, for his role in manufacturing and trafficking more than 770 kilograms of methamphetamine from a house in Ellenwood, Georgia. Three co-conspirators, also illegal aliens, were previously sentenced.
Magana-Sarabia pleaded guilty on July 28, 2026, to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg said the defendant and his accomplices amassed and distributed a staggering amount of deadly methamphetamine in a residential neighborhood, and that quick action by state and federal partners dismantled the operation.
The case began on October 20, 2023, when federal agents investigating drug activity at an Ellenwood residence saw several men loading boxes into a Toyota Tacoma and coordinated with the Georgia State Patrol on a traffic stop. Agents seized 134 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine from the driver, Luis Santiago Urrutia-Mata, and the passenger, Jose Luis Avalos-Menera.
A search of the residence, rented by Magana-Sarabia, uncovered a large clandestine methamphetamine conversion laboratory containing 260 kilograms of finished crystal methamphetamine and 100 gallons of still-liquid methamphetamine, along with three firearms. A third defendant, Erik Santana-Sanchez, was apprehended as he fled the laboratory, and the DEA determined he had assisted in manufacturing methamphetamine at the house.
The co-defendants were previously sentenced: Jose Avalos-Menera, 40, to 108 months; Luis Urrutia-Mata, 26, to 78 months; and Erik Santana-Sanchez, 39, to 78 months, each followed by supervised release. The Drug Enforcement Administration investigated the case with assistance from the Georgia State Patrol, Assistant U.S. Attorney Johnny Baer prosecuted, and the case is part of Operation Take Back America.
