A jury trial ended last week with the conviction of a local drug dealer who had been indicted on a litany of drug charges. The man now faces up to 60 years in prison as a career offender.

Brandon Tylor Mulac, 30, and Logan Nicole Sullivan were indicted by the Grand Jury in December 2021, charged with possession with intent to sell/deliver a schedule II drug, (meth) over 300 grams, and possession with intent to sell/deliver a schedule II drug (Fentanyl). Mulac was also indicted for possession with intent to sell of deliver over 26 grams of a schedule II drug, (meth) and evading arrests. Each were under a $125,000 bond.

The indictment stemmed from an April 2021 investigation after Mulac was found with drugs during a traffic stop in Smith County. Authorities there found out that Mulac had more drugs located at a residence in Smithville, and contacted the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department to investigate. Sullivan was also charged with the same offenses as Mulac, but she is now deceased.

“We received information from the Smith County Sheriff’s Department that they had found Mulac in possession of a large amount of methamphetamine during a traffic stop there,” said  Assistant District Attorney General Greg Strong. “Through that investigation we learned that a large amount of methamphetamine could be found in a house here on South Mountain Street, where we believe Mulac had been staying. We obtained a search warrant based on that information and did find a large amount of methamphetamine at that residence.”

“After Mulac was charged in Smith County, we had him arrested on a grand jury pickup indictment in 2021. The Smith County case is still pending against him where he faces a Class-A felony,” Strong continued.

Last Wednesday, Mulac was on trial and the day-long affair did not go his way. The jury found Mulac guilty of possession with intent to sell or deliver methamphetamine, a schedule II controlled substance in an amount of 300 grams or more. He was also fined $75,000. The jury found Mulac not guilty on a second charge of fentanyl possession with intent to sell or deliver.

Mulac will be sentenced on June 20 before Judge Wesley Bray. Based on his criminal record, Strong said the DA’s office will seek the maximum punishment.
