JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A Fernandina Beach man pleaded guilty Monday to distribution of cocaine and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Frank Malik Drummond, 21, faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison for the drug charge and up to 10 years for the firearm offense.
According to the plea agreement, Drummond sold cocaine to a confidential informant on three separate occasions. When he was arrested on January 26, 2017, he had a semi-automatic pistol in his pocket. Drummond has two prior felony convictions for drug sales and is therefore prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition under federal law.
