ST. PAUL, MN – Jeffrey Marcus Lucas, 62, of Isanti, Minnesota, is in deep trouble after being indicted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for a string of serious crimes including conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and possession of stolen firearms.
Acting United States Attorney Gregory G. Brooker announced the charges against Lucas, who also faces counts of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, possession of a stolen firearm, and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
The 62-year-old’s criminal activities spanned from 2009 to August 2016, where he operated out of his residence in Isanti, selling and trading meth for stolen property and firearms. His downfall came on August 8, 2016, when law enforcement executed a search warrant that turned up several stolen firearms, ammunition, and over $25,000 in stolen goods.
This case is the product of an ATF-led investigation with support from local police departments and sheriff’s offices, including the Braham Police Department, Cambridge Police Department, Isanti Police Department, Isanti County Sheriff’s Office, and the Anoka Hennepin Drug Task Force. Assistant United States Attorney David P. Steinkamp is handling the prosecution.
Lucas made his initial appearance in U.S. District Court in St. Paul on March 17, 2017. His charges are serious, and if convicted, he faces substantial time behind bars.
The defendant, JEFFREY MARCUS LUCAS, is charged with:
- Conspiracy to Distribute Methamphetamine, 1 count
- Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine, 1 count
- Possession of Stolen Firearms, 1 count
- Felon in Possession of a Firearm, 1 count
As always, the charges contained in the indictment are merely accusations, and Lucas is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. For more information, contact the United States Attorney’s Office, District of Minnesota at (612) 664-5600.
