Federal agents arrested Peewee Longway in Georgia in September 2024, marking the start of a sweeping case. This case quickly placed the rapper under serious legal pressure. Prosecutors later outlined a five-count federal indictment tied to alleged drug distribution and firearms violations. In filings, they claimed a studio associated with Longway contained roughly 3,000 fentanyl pills, along with six firearms. Additionally, they said additional weapons were recovered at his residence.
The government also pointed to what it described as “compelling evidence tying defendant to a transaction involving 4 kg of meth, which was trafficked through the studio.” Investigators further referenced text messages they say support allegations of coordinated drug activity. This added weight to a case that carried the potential for a decades-long sentence if fully prosecuted.
Court documents cited by Complex indicate Longway accepted a plea agreement on April 1. He pleaded guilty to two federal charges: Conspiracy to Possess with Intent to Distribute Controlled Substances and Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. Under the deal, prosecutors agreed to recommend a sentence of up to 14 years in federal prison. Meanwhile, his defense agreed not to push for anything below 10. The arrangement significantly narrowed the range of possible outcomes compared with the original indictment.
Longway Awaits Sentencing as Federal Case and Asset Seizures Continue
Sentencing is scheduled for July 9, when a judge will decide the final term within that window. Longway remains in custody as he awaits that hearing. A separate federal case in Georgia tied to him continues to move forward with few publicly available updates.
In a separate development, authorities have also begun disposing of assets connected to the investigation. Reports indicate that several pieces of Longway’s jewelry were seized and later auctioned by the federal government. Individual items sold for thousands of dollars as part of ongoing forfeiture proceedings.
