MOBILE, AL – A Baldwin County man, Teddy Rivers, 57, was sentenced yesterday in federal court on his conviction for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. Rivers pled guilty to the charge in August of 2024.
Court documents show that Rivers is a long-time Baldwin County drug dealer. In August 2022, law enforcement executed a traffic stop on Rivers. Rivers was found to be in possession of 48.8 grams of pure methamphetamine. Rivers admitted that he regularly sold methamphetamine to a number of individuals and had been doing so for some time. Rivers has a prior federal conviction for Conspiracy to Manufacture Methamphetamine in 2007, and a prior state conviction for Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance with Intent to Distribute in 2021.
United States District Court Judge Callie V.S. Granade sentenced Rivers to 292 months in custody. When Rivers is released from custody, he will serve an eight-year term of supervised release. Rivers will be subject to search upon reasonable suspicion that he has violated the conditions of supervision, and he will also be subject to drug testing and treatment. No fine was imposed in the case, but the judge ordered that Rivers pay $100 in special assessments.
The case was investigated by the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Gloria Bedwell prosecuted the case on behalf of the United States.
