Man Sentenced to 105 Years for Major Drug Trafficking and Firearms in West Georgia
CARROLL COUNTY, Georgia – A Carroll County jury has sentenced a Bowdon man to more than a century in prison following a major drug trafficking conviction, according to the West Georgia Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office.
District Attorney Sarah Stimac Japour announced that on November 7, 2025, a jury found Deontrey Foster guilty of multiple felony offenses, including trafficking methamphetamine, trafficking fentanyl, possession of MDMA with intent to distribute, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
The case was heard before Judge Dustin Hightower, who sentenced Foster to 105 years in prison, with the first 30 years to be served in the Georgia Department of Corrections.
Prosecutors presented evidence showing that investigators with the Aggressive Criminal Enforcement (A.C.E.) Unit began focusing on Foster after receiving information that he was conducting repeated drug transactions from his Wedowee Street residence in Bowdon. A search warrant was obtained and executed on July 29, 2024.
During the search, investigators recovered approximately one pound of methamphetamine, one pound of marijuana, 1.69 ounces of fentanyl, and multiple MDMA tablets packaged for sale. Officers also seized an AR-15–style rifle, ammunition, and several magazines from the residence.
The investigation was led by Sgt. Kyle Jones with the A.C.E. Unit, a multi-agency task force aimed at disrupting drug trafficking and organized criminal activity in Carroll County. The case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys Michael Parrish and Laura Almand, with support from Chief District Attorney Investigator Becky Byrd.
District Attorney Japour said the conviction and lengthy sentence underscore the office’s commitment to removing high-level drug traffickers from the community and holding them fully accountable for the harm caused by illegal narcotics.
