Conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine
In June 2014, a DEA informant was contacted by an uncharged co-conspirator seeking a cocaine supplier. An undercover detective arranged a meeting with the defendant, who expressed interest in buying cocaine and heroin. Subsequent recorded conversations led to a meeting where the defendant agreed to purchase cocaine and proposed trading other drugs for additional cocaine. On July 11, 2014, the defendant and an accomplice met with undercover detectives to complete the transaction, where the defendant was arrested after attempting to flee.
Successfully argued for dramatic sentence reduction from initial 10-year mandatory minimum sentence, demonstrating exceptional negotiation skills in federal drug cases involving mandatory minimums.
