LIMESTONE COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) — The Limestone County Sheriff’s Office says an Athens man was sentenced to three life terms for multiple drug trafficking and gun-related charges.
LCSO said Jeffery Dewayne Madry, 37, of Athens, was sentenced on Friday after he was found guilty of trafficking methamphetamine and cocaine, certain persons prohibited from carrying a firearm, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana. One of his life sentences will run consecutively to the others.

District Attorney Brian Jones said he was very pleased to see the sentence, which he said reflects the harm Madry had done to the community.
“This sentence ensures that Jeffery Madry will spend the rest of his life paying for the damage he inflicted,” Jones said. “While we were prosecuting this defendant, approximately 415,000 Americans died from illicit drug overdoses, a sobering reminder of what is at stake in cases like this. I hope this sentence will serve as a warning to other drug dealers to keep their poison off the streets of Limestone County.”…
