Federal Way man sentenced for role in massive drug ring

Sir Terrique Milam, a 22-year-old man from Federal Way, Washington, has been sentenced to nine years in prison for his involvement in a large-scale drug trafficking operation. The investigation targeted a family-based drug ring led by Marquis Jackson and his parents, Mandel and Matelita Jackson, along with siblings Markell and Miracle Jackson.

According to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Washington, Milam assisted the ring by traveling to pick up large quantities of fentanyl. During a wiretap investigation, officials recorded Milam discussing plans to acquire 150,000 fentanyl pills in Arizona. A subsequent search of Milam's residence resulted in the seizure of 323.8 grams of fentanyl, drug scales, and cash.

Law enforcement officials reported that the broader investigation into the Jackson family ring led to the seizure of over 846,000 fentanyl pills, approximately 7 kilograms of fentanyl powder and cocaine, 29 firearms, and more than $116,000 in cash. Several other individuals associated with the ring have already received prison sentences, while other members are scheduled for trial in July 2027.
