MONTGOMERY, Ala, (WAKA) – A Coosada man has been sentenced to 130 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to drug and gun charges.

After serving his prison time, Jennings will serve five years of supervised release, Davidson says. There is no parole in the federal system.

According to his agreement and other court records, on February 20, 2025, law enforcement in Montgomery conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle driven by Jennings. A search of the vehicle revealed 434 grams of methamphetamine and a handgun. Jennings has previous felony convictions and is prohibited from possessing a gun or ammunition.
