America’s oldest crack dealer arrested

87-year-old granny Ola Mae Agee was caught by police dealing drugs from her living room sofa, she has been sentenced to 18 months in prison after a jury found her guilty of one count of selling cocaine from her Florida home, which means she will celebrating her 88th birthday behind bars.

The aged dealer was caught after an undercover police officer bought a £15 piece of crack from her in a drug sting, part of which was caught on CCTV and the footage was shown to the court. The undercover officer knocked on the back door of Agee’s home in Pensacola on April 30 this year, he was then led into the sitting room where Agee rummaged down the back of her couch and produced the small amount of crack.

In December 1996 the drug dealing granny, Agee pleaded no contest possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell, manufacture or deliver and she served two years of probation, which ended when she was 78, after she pleaded no contest to another drugs charge. As well as that she was also arrested in the February of 1999 on two charges of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. One charge was dropped.

Ola Mae Agee could have faced fifteen years in prison from the most recent case which probably would have seen her die in jail, however the jury took less than fifteen minutes to convict her. Assistant State Attorney Greg Marcille said: “She also had extensive other prior criminal history for other offences that went back a couple of years. Based on the fact that she had continued to sell drugs over this period of time, we believe the prison sentence was appropriate in this case.”
