A federal indictment has been unsealed in the District Court of Oregon, linking 38-year-old Li Tian of Oregon to a $10 million methamphetamine trafficking operation involving Ruoyu Duan, 38, of Oregon.
According to court documents, the operation, which was allegedly led by Duan, distributed large quantities of methamphetamine throughout the region, causing widespread harm to users and contributing to the growing opioid epidemic.
The indictment charges Duan with conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine, a crime punishable by up to 40 years in prison and a fine of up to $5 million.
Attorneys for the defense include Conor Huseby, Katherine A. Rykken, Michelle Holman Kerin, Peyton Elizabeth Lee, and Geoffrey A. Barrow. The prosecution is led by USA attorneys.
The case, United States v. Duan, is being handled by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon. The charges carry a significant penalty, and if convicted, Duan faces a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison and a fine of up to $5 million.
The investigation into Duan’s operation is ongoing, and authorities are working to dismantle the trafficking network and bring those involved to justice.
The indictment serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of methamphetamine and the importance of addressing the root causes of addiction and crime in our communities.
