Federal prosecutors announced Friday in a news release that the final defendant in a multi-person indictment was sentenced to federal prison last week, effectively bringing to a close the significant criminal activities of an East Arkansas drug-trafficking and money-laundering organization.

The release said that Termaine Ontario Slaughter, 36, of Parkin was sentenced to 7½ years in federal prison Thursday by U.S. District Judge James M. Moody Jr., who also ordered Slaughter to serve five years on supervised release.

Slaughter pleaded guilty in November to one count each of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

On Nov. 7, 2018, Slaughter was named in a 16-count indictment along with Demario Smith, 40, of Southaven, Miss.; Elliott Davis, 41, of Colt; and Montana Smith, 45, of Parkin as being involved in the distribution of methamphetamine in the Forrest City area.
