TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – A Tallahassee man was sentenced to 15 years in prison Friday for distributing over 50 grams of methamphetamine, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Northern District of Florida.
DeWayne Dugan, 59, was sentenced to life in prison in 1997 for federal drug trafficking charges, the attorney’s office wrote in a press release Friday.
However, due to a change in the law, the 59-year-old’s sentence was reduced. He was then released from prison in November 2020, per the release.

Less than four years later, the attorney’s office said authorities caught Dugan “selling a pound of methamphetamine during an undercover operation” in November 2024.
The case was a joint investigation by the Leon County Sheriff’s Office, the Drug Enforcement Administration, among other agencies.
