On Friday, October 9th, United States District Judge Jerry Edwards, Jr., sentenced Shreveport resident Timothy Wayne Griffin to 130 months in federal prison, followed by four years of supervised release for Distributing a Controlled Substance and Possessing a Firearm in Furtherance of a Drug Trafficking Crime.
