““[The inmate] was convicted of trafficking in cannabis, a violation of § 13A-12-231(1), Ala.Code 1975. He was sentenced as a habitual offender with two prior felony convictions to 99 years’ imprisonment. See § 13A-5-9(b)(3), Ala. Code 1975. However, because [the inmate] was in possession of a firearm at the time of the offense, he was sentenced to an additional 5 years’ imprisonment, pursuant to the firearm-enhancement portion of the drug-trafficking statute, § 13A-12-231(13), Ala.Code 1975, for a total sentence of 104 years’ imprisonment. [The inmate] was also fined $25,000, pursuant to § 13A-12-231(l)a., and an additional $25,000, pursuant to § 13A-12-231(13).””
