Three men are heading to prison after pleading guilty for their roles in a Montezuma cocaine distribution ring.

Geoffrey L. “Jeff” Larry, Nicholas J. “Nick” Larry, both of Montezuma, and Curtis J. “C.J.” Holmes were sentenced Tuesday to more than 13 years each, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Jeff Larry, 36, was the leader and supplier of the organization that included his younger brother, Nick, 34, and Holmes, 38, of Warner Robins.

Court testimony showed the men trafficked the equivalent of more than 1,950 grams of crack cocaine in the Macon County community between Jan. 1, 2014, and March 15, 2016, by dealing crack and powder cocaine and marijuana, the news release stated.

Nick Larry and Holmes ran two “trap houses” to sell drugs.

All three had prior felony convictions for drug crimes in Georgia and were banned from possessing guns.

Several firearms were seized during the investigation.

Jeff Larry and Holmes were sentenced to 170 months without parole and Nick Larry will serve a 155-month sentence.
