   MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A 44-year-old Memphis man has been sentenced to 45 years in   
   federal prison after being convicted by a federal jury of multiple drug   
   distribution and firearm offenses, United States Attorney for the Western   
   District of Tennessee, Kevin G. Ritz announced.   
      
   According to the information presented in court, law enforcement officers   
   intercepted a package containing cocaine sent from Houston, Texas and set   
   for delivery to Kendrick Watson’s residence.   
      
   After searching the residence, officers found fentanyl, methamphetamine,   
   drug-distribution materials and proceeds, multiple firearms, ammunition and   
   gun magazines.   
      
   In February 2024, a federal jury found Watson guilty of one count of   
   possession of fentanyl with the intent to distribute, three counts of   
   possession of a gun in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime and three   
   counts of possession of a gun as a convicted felon.   
      
   That conviction mandated a 25-year sentence, consecutive to any other   
   sentence, based on Watson’s prior conviction for possession of a firearm   
   during a crime of violence.   
      
   Watson was designated as a career offender under the federal sentencing   
   guidelines due to his prior convictions for a crime of violence and   
   controlled substance offenses in Memphis.   
      
   On August 1, 2024, United States District Court Judge Thomas L. Parker   
   sentenced Watson to a total of 45 years of imprisonment, followed by three   
   years of supervised release.  There is no parole in the federal system.
