Family demands justice after Hickory police kill man
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — Torrey Lane Hodsden, 28, of Asheville, was sentenced to 25 years in prison Thursday, followed by five years of supervised release for using a gun in furtherance of drug trafficking and other charges.
In March 2023, law enforcement began to investigate Hodsden for drug trafficking in the Asheville area.
Authorities also determined Hodsden was on federal probation in South Carolina.
On March 7, 2023, the Asheville Police Department attempted a traffic stop on Hodsden, but he fled and evaded arrest.
Officers then obtained warrants and conducted a traffic stop of Hodsden, who was in a different vehicle. During a search of Hodsden, law enforcement recovered a loaded XDS .45 caliber pistol loaded with five rounds of ammunition and more than $3,694 in cash.
Officers then searched the vehicle and recovered $44,661 in cash, methamphetamine, and marijuana from Hodsden’s Gucci bag.
Later that day, law enforcement searched Hodsden’s Jaguar, where they found 18 large vacuum-sealed bags containing over a pound of marijuana, nearly 200 tablets of a mixture containing cathinone, over 100 grams of methamphetamine, fentanyl mixed with cocaine, and various separate amounts of fentanyl and cocaine.
A search warrant was executed at Hodsden’s residence, where law enforcement seized nearly half a kilogram of methamphetamine, over three pounds of marijuana, fentanyl, fentanyl mixed with cocaine and methamphetamine, digital scales, a blender with white residue, ammunition, and $7,210 in cash.
On Nov. 19, 2024, Hodsden pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute
methamphetamine and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.
Hodsden will remain in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service until he is transferred to a
designated federal facility of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
