BMF’s Terry Flenory receives clemency
Flenory’s clemency comes as part of the president’s initiative to pardon those who were released from prison and placed in home confinement during the coronavirus.
In 2008, Terry Flenory and his brother, Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory, were sentenced to 30 years in prison after prosecutors linked the brothers to an international drug trafficking operation, according to WXIA-TV.
In 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic, Terry Flenory was released from federal prison and ordered to serve the rest of his sentence on house arrest, WXYZ-TV reported.
Terry Flenory celebrated on Instagram, sharing a photo of his clemency affidavit and videos of him removing his house arrest device, writing, “It’s been a journey, but prayer and unwavering faith beyond mere human comprehension got us to this point.”
Brother
There has been no word if Demetrius Flenory will be pardoned but he has seen changes in his incarenation. In October, he was transferred to a residential reentry program in Miami to serve the remainder of his sentence.
Known for their leadership in BMF, both Terry and Demetrius Felonry’s stories have been widely covered in the media and are dramatized in the Starz series “BMF.”
