Hudson Pleads Guilty to Fentanyl Sales

(Cape Girardeau, MO) A Cape Girardeau man, 47 year old Jimmy L. Hudson Jr., is facing 175 months in prison for selling fentanyl. Hudson pled guilty last year admitting to selling fentanyl in April of 2023 to an informant working for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, or DEA. This latest case represents Hudson’s third federal drug trafficking conviction. At the time he sold the fentanyl, Hudson was on federal supervised release stemming from a 2015 conviction for distributing methamphetamine. After serving the nearly 15 year sentence, Hudson will once again be placed on supervised release.
