Evan Tangeman, 31, Faces Fentanyl Trafficking Charges in Washington D.C.

A federal indictment has been unsealed against Evan Tangeman, 31, of Washington D.C., charging him with fentanyl trafficking. According to the U.S. Federal Court, Tangeman is accused of distributing fentanyl, a highly addictive and deadly synthetic opioid, in the nation’s capital.

The case, United States v. LAM, was filed in the District Court for the District of Columbia (1:24-cr-00417). The indictment alleges that Tangeman knowingly distributed fentanyl, resulting in substantial harm to the community. If convicted, Tangeman faces up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $1 million.

Attorneys for the defense team include Kevin L. Rosenberg, Dwight E. Crawley, Rick E. Blaylock, Jr., and William Gourley Hart. Prosecutors for the U.S. Attorney’s Office are leading the case against Tangeman.

The indictment marks a significant blow to the growing fentanyl trafficking problem in Washington D.C. Fentanyl has been linked to numerous overdose deaths in the city, and authorities are cracking down on those responsible. ‘We will not tolerate the distribution of these deadly substances in our community,’ said a U.S. Attorney’s Office spokesperson.

Tangeman’s case is a stark reminder of the devastating impact of fentanyl trafficking on families and communities. As Grimy Times continues to report on this developing story, we urge readers to stay informed and vigilant in the face of this growing threat.
