Warner Robins, GA: Man sentenced to 30 years in meth and fentanyl trafficking case
WARNER ROBINS, GA - Michael Scott Sayre of Warner Robins was sentenced to 30 years, the first 12 in prison, and fined $200,000 after pleading guilty to trafficking methamphetamine and possession of fentanyl with intent to distribute, District Attorney Eric Edwards says.
Sayre pleaded guilty Thursday in Houston County Superior Court, according to the Houston County District Attorney's Office. The Warner Robins Police Department's Narcotics Intelligence Unit and the Houston County Sheriff's Office began investigating him in late 2025.
Prosecutors say Investigator Jason Lamberth learned Sayre was selling large amounts of drugs from a room at the Days Inn on Watson Boulevard. On Dec. 4, 2025, narcotics officers and deputies watched as he drove to Macon to buy drugs from a supplier. When he came back into Houston County, deputies stopped his vehicle on an outstanding bench warrant and found more than seven ounces of methamphetamine and a key to his motel room. A search of the room turned up more than half an ounce of fentanyl and packaging materials.
"The quantities recovered in this case make clear that Mr. Sayre was not simply feeding his own addiction; he was operating a substantial drug distribution business that placed countless lives at risk," Edwards said.
