More than a dozen Milledgeville meth dealers looking at serious federal time

There's no parole in federal prison.

A number of Milledgeville residents are figuring this out the hard way following a series of recent plea deals at the federal courthouse over in Macon.

The most recent plea came earlier this week, when Jarvis "J Bo" Havior, 31, pleaded guilty to possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute. He's set to be sentenced on May 3. Havior is described by authorities as the "ring leader" of a " a multi-kilo methamphetamine distribution ring operating in the Milledgeville community," according to a United States Department of Justice press release.

Multiple agencies then launched an investigation in June 2020 and eventually "determined the location of distribution 'trap' houses and 'stash' houses for bulk narcotics and cash that Havior and his criminal associates maintained." 

Ten months later, agents moved in for the takedown. Added the press release: "Agents determined that Havior was going to replenish his methamphetamine supply at a location in Stone Mountain, Georgia, where he had previously traveled to for suspected drug re-supply runs. Agents observed Havior meet a man at a Publix parking lot in Stone Mountain and receive a fully laden green Publix bag. Havior traveled to a restaurant in Covington, Georgia, and gave the bag to co-defendant Anrico Taylor. 

"Both defendants departed the restaurant in their respective vehicles and traffic stops were conducted on them in Baldwin County, Georgia. Taylor attempted to flee with the Publix bag, ripping apart several smaller bags of methamphetamine as he ran from officers, amounting to approximately one kilogram of methamphetamine spread on the ground. In total, four kilograms of methamphetamine was found inside the green Publix bag. In all, the drug trafficking ring is responsible for distributing at least five kilograms of methamphetamine."

Eight months later, meanwhile, Havior's suspected supplier was arrested, a man with ties to a Mexican cartel, according to authorities. Nicholas Cuevas-Flores, a Gwinnett County man, was popped with 14 kilos of meth and a kilo of heroin during the "controlled buy," including investigators.

All totaled, during the 18-month investigation, a number of controlled buys were executed, implicating a number of people from around Baldwin County, nearly all of whom have now pleaded guilty. They are:
