Another sentencing hearing in a major drug trafficking case will spend decades in prison after he took a guilty plea during a hearing earlier today.

District Attorney Jack Browning reported that Danny Glynn Dorris of 106 Formby Trail, Aragon, was sentenced in the courtroom of Superior Court Judge Mark Murphy on June 10 on a lone count of trafficking methamphetamine.

He was one of more than two dozen defendants arrested in a 2019 combined Polk County and Rome-Floyd Drug Task Force wiretap case that has thus far seen the sentencing of two other suspects in the case to decades in prisons and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines.

Judge Murphy sentenced Dorris to 30 years of prison time, of which he’ll serve 20. Additionally, Dorris will have to pay a $100,000 fine.

It marked the third such plea in court in a case Browning has presented in court since late April.

“This is justice served against another major player in an area drug trafficking ring, and the real heroes in this case are the dedicated law enforcement officers who spent countless hours to ensure this case was brought to court,” Browning said. “They are to be commended for their continued efforts to get narcotics off the streets.”

His plea was negotiated and he admitted his involvement in the drug trafficking ring that saw methamphetamine sales happening in Polk and Floyd Counties.

Amanda Lynn Dempsey, also of 106 Formby Trail, Aragon, already took a guilty plea and is serving 10 years following her sentencing in late April.

Earlier this week, Chad Garrison took a non-negotiated guilty plea and was sentenced to 60 years, to serve 30 and a $400,000 fine.

Prosecution of other defendants in the case continues, and Browning hopes to have it wrapped up by the end of the year.
