In a decisive move by the U.S. District Court, two men from Orlando have been handed federal prison sentences for their involvement in a methamphetamine distribution operation. Patrick Hugh Mitchell, 57, received a ten-year term. At the same time, his accomplice, Kyle Jay Hunter Baronville, 37, was sentenced to five years and ten months behind bars, as presented in a statement from the
U.S. Attorney’s Office
for the Middle District of Florida.
Baronville, who had earlier admitted his guilt on January 26, was involved in two drug deals that the Drug Enforcement Administration carefully monitored through a confidential informant. In the initial transaction, he sold 357.3 grams of pure methamphetamine. Mitchell supplied 892.5 grams of the same purity in the follow-up deal, which Baronville subsequently distributed. Following a conviction by a jury on June 27, the sentence for Mitchell was handed down by U.S. District Judge Carlos E. Mendoza, who oversaw the trial proceedings.
These sentencings culminate in an operation spearheaded by the DEA, signaling a continued effort to dismantle illicit drug networks. Assistant United States Attorney Megan Testerman led the prosecution, solidifying the case against the two Orlando men through the accrual of evidence and testimony, including the information obtained from the controlled purchases.
