THOMASVILLE —
A man awaiting transfer to a state prison in a local methamphetamine conviction has been indicted by a federal grand jury is a separate case involving the pink-ice form of the drug.
James Lamar "Jamie" Futch, 49, 29502 Ga. 3, has been held without bond at the Thomas County Jail since his arrest in October 2011.
In June, he was sentenced in Thomas County Superior Court to five years in prison on the 2011 meth charge and five years incarceration on a conviction of probation violation that involved a previous methamphetamine conviction.
Futch, who was in possession of close to 28 grams of the ice form of the drug when arrested last year, told narcotics agents he had served federal prison time on a previous methamphetamine conviction.
He said he served 50 months in federal prison on a meth conviction and was released in 2002.
In the 2011 case, Futch was in possession of bright-pink ice. The bright pink is the signature color of the organization that manufactured the contraband.
The contraband was not manufactured locally, but brought into Thomas County in a form ready to use.
