Father of Seven Sentenced for Drug Trafficking

Fifty-one-year-old Owens Coleman Parker Jr., a father of seven, just got sentenced to 17 years and 6 months in federal prison after being caught with over 6,000 grams of fentanyl and 7,000 grams of meth—enough to supply thousands. He agreed to drive an SUV just half a mile for $1,000, unaware it hid a drug stash. Admitting he made a desperate cash grab and had done a similar delivery before, he fled to Mexico after arrest, staying 18 months before surrendering at the Arizona border. He pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute. Though the drugs could’ve led to life, the judge spared him from the harshest penalty, noting he wasn’t the top player—now he faces a long sentence, but still has a chance to rebuild his future.
