Alvin Frederique
A Chattanooga man who sold large quantities of meth has been given a 15-year federal prison sentence.
Alvin Frederique, 40, appeared before Judge Sandy Mattice.
Agents on May 14, 2015, made a controlled buy of 50.6 grams of meth from Frederique.
A controlled meth buy of 26.7 grams from Frederique was made on Jan. 9, 2016, and 85.9 grams on Feb. 26.
Defense attorney Mitch Carter said Frederique got a longer sentence than his co-defendants, including his brother, Jeffrey, who he called the ring leader of the conspiracy.
He said Frederique faces numerous health problems, including having suffered a heart attack and having diabetes and asthma.
Jeffrey Frederique is serving a 135-month sentence.
