Memphis, TN – Gary Osborne, 50, of Buchanan, Tennessee, has been sentenced to 210 months in federal
prison for drug trafficking and firearms charges. United States Attorney Kevin G. Ritz announced
the sentence today.
According to the information presented in court, on August 15, 2018, members of the Metro Crime
Unit, in Henry County, Tennessee, executed a search warrant at Osborne’s residence. Officers
located methamphetamine, digital scales, and more than $5200 in cash and a .243 rifle. As a result
of his extensive felony history, Osborne is prohibited by federal law from possessing firearms and
ammunition.

On January 17, 2023, United States Chief District Judge S. Thomas Anderson sentenced Osborne to 210
months in federal prison to be followed by five years of supervised release. There is no parole in
the federal system.
This case was investigated by the Henry County Sheriff’s Department, Paris Police Department, and
the Puryear Police Department.
