NASHVILLE – Terrence Devol London, II, 34, of Nashville, was sentenced yesterday to 20 years in federal prison, announced Acting United States Attorney Thomas J. Jaworski for the Middle District of Tennessee. London was convicted by a federal jury in March 2023 of illegal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime and controlled substances offenses.

In 2018, London was sentenced to 72 months’ imprisonment, to be followed by 3 years of supervised release, on federal drug and weapons charges. After being released from federal custody, London repeatedly violated the terms of his supervised release, including by cutting off an electronic monitoring device and leaving home confinement. When Deputy U.S. Marshals arrested London, they found him in possession of a loaded firearm, fentanyl, methamphetamine and cocaine, drug paraphernalia, and over $9,000 in cash.

“The prosecution of those under court supervision who re-offend are among our highest priorities,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Thomas J. Jaworski. “Offenders like London, like those we prosecute under Operation Bond Watch, need to know that if they are already on court supervision and don’t respect the law, they will be held accountable and there will be serious consequences.”

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Nashville Field Office, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the United States Marshals Service, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, and the Gallatin Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Rascoe Dean and Nicholas J. Goldin prosecuted the case.
