A convicted sexual predator has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
According to channel 9 WFTV, Michael Allen Reams, 44, was convicted of multiple drug-related charges and child neglect in June. Those drug charges included trafficking in heroin 28 grams or more, conspiracy to traffic in fentanyl 28 grams or more, possession of fentanyl with intent to sell, possession of a place for trafficking/sale of a controlled substance, unlawful use of a two-way device and possession of paraphernalia.
The state attorney’s office for the Fifth Judicial Circuit described Reams as a “registered sexual predator and habitual felony offender,” saying he had various amounts of illegal drugs for sale in his residence.
Back in August of 2021, detectives with the Lake County Sheriff’s Office Special Investigations Unit executed a search warrant at a residence off 1st Bass Street in Tavares, Florida, following an investigation into narcotics sales linked to a traffic stop on July 13, 2021, which involved five ounces of Fentanyl. Officers with the Tavares Police Department and Leesburg Police Department assisted the Lake County Sheriff’s Office with this investigation.
Upon searching the home, officials located the defendant inside, along with a female and an 8-year-old child.
The state attorney says Reams decide to represent himself.
