Quinton Montral Gunn

Convicted and sentenced. Gunn, 45, pleaded guilty to three counts of distribution of methamphetamine and was sentenced to 126 months — ten and a half years — in federal prison.

Introduction

Quinton Montral Gunn, a 45-year-old Calhoun County man known on the street as “Poo Nanny,” was sentenced to 126 months in federal prison for trafficking methamphetamine in Anniston, Alabama . U.S. District Court Judge Corey L. Maze imposed the sentence, announced by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Alabama on September 18, 2026, after Gunn pleaded guilty in May to three counts of distribution of methamphetamine . Each plea rested on a controlled purchase: over three separate transactions, Gunn sold methamphetamine to a confidential source working with investigators . The DEA investigated along with the 7th Judicial Major Crimes Unit, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Brittany T. Byrd prosecuted the case .

Background Information

The court documents walk through the three controlled buys that became the three counts. On September 7, 2023, the confidential source met Gunn at Parkwin Kitchen to purchase two ounces of methamphetamine for $500 . On October 6, 2023, the source met him at a location on Parkin Avenue to purchase three ounces for $675 . The third controlled purchase came almost a year later, on September 30, 2024, when the source met Gunn at his own residence in Anniston to purchase three ounces for $450 . The span — two purchases in 2023 and a third in 2024 — documents a sustained operation rather than a single lapse, which is the record the sentencing judge weighed .

The Controversy or Incident That Led to Their Cancellation

The case against Gunn is the arithmetic of the buys themselves: eight ounces of methamphetamine in three transactions across more than a year, each one a recorded, monitored sale to a police source . The conduct was admitted by his pleas, which folded the three sales into three felony counts and handed the government its sentencing record . The announcement situates the case inside Operation Take Back America, the department’s nationwide initiative against drug trafficking organizations, and treats a neighborhood-level dealer’s volume as part of the same enforcement picture as the cartel cases the initiative headlines . By the time of the September 2024 buy at his own home, Gunn was selling to a source he had dealt with twice before — the repetition that made the federal case .

Public Reaction and Consequences

U.S. Attorney Phillip W. Williams Jr. said drug dealers who plague streets with methamphetamine “put our communities and our families at risk, and we will not stop pursuing them,” adding that anyone who profits from putting methamphetamine into communities “should expect to be held accountable in federal court” . DEA Special Agent in Charge John P. Scott, of the New Orleans Field Division, put it more bluntly: “If you choose to flood our neighborhoods with methamphetamine, you aren’t just running a criminal enterprise, you are reserving a spot in federal prison” . He called the 126-month sentence “a blunt warning to every dealer pushing poison: law enforcement is hunting you down with unprecedented fury, and we will not rest until you are locked behind bars” .

Current Status

Gunn, 45, is serving his 126-month sentence imposed by Judge Maze for the three distribution counts . The plea-based resolution closed the investigation that ran from the fall of 2023 through the fall of 2024 .

Impact on Their Career/Life

At 45, Gunn’s alias “Poo Nanny” now appears in a federal sentencing announcement alongside ten and a half years, attaching the street name permanently to the case file. His dealing ran out of a kitchen, an avenue address, and finally his own front door — the last sale, from home, the one that put his residence into the court record as a drug location. The case is the district’s template for how small-volume dealing becomes a federal sentence: repeat controlled buys, an alias on the record, and a guidelines sentence measured against a 45-year-old defendant’s remaining working life.
