Ga. man given 15 years on meth, child porn charges

A federal judge in Chattanooga has sentenced a North Georgia man to 15 years in prison in a drug and child pornography case.

Gary Salles (SAYLZ’) of Smyrna, Ga., had earlier pleaded guilty to charges that he brought methamphetamine and porn across the state line to sell to a buyer at a Winchester, Tenn., motel. That buyer was a federal agent.

The Chattanooga Times Free Press reported that after sentencing Salles on Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge Harry S. “Sandy” Mattice (muh-TYS’) allowed him to speak.

Salles thanked the agents who arrested him for “saving his life” and apologized to anyone he hurt.
