Fort Washington Trafficker Sentenced to 10 Years

A Fort Washington, Maryland man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for his role in a massive drug trafficking operation that distributed PCP, heroin, and cocaine base in Prince George’s County and the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

Wayne Glymph, 46, was handed down the 10-year sentence by U.S. District Judge Roger W. Titus, followed by five years of supervised release, for his conviction of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute phencyclidine (PCP), cocaine base, and heroin; and being a felon in possession of ammunition.

According to Glymph’s guilty plea, he, along with co-defendant Samuel Braxton and other conspirators, sold PCP, heroin, and crack to drug customers in Prince George’s County and the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, beginning in January 2011. The group used Braxton’s apartment and a bowling alley in Temple Hills, Maryland to store and distribute narcotics.

The operation involved Glymph and others pooling money to obtain the drugs, which were then redistributed to their customers. Glymph was responsible for distributing between 1 and 3 kilograms of PCP, between 28 and 112 grams of crack, and between 400 and 700 grams of heroin.

On February 23, 2011, law enforcement agents executed a search warrant at Glymph’s residence, seizing approximately 19 grams of heroin, 10 grams of crack, 25 grams of marijuana, a four-ounce bottle containing PCP residue, assorted drug paraphernalia, $23,626, a diamond engagement ring, a pouch containing two loaded 9mm pistol magazines, six loaded .40 caliber pistol magazines, an empty .40 caliber pistol magazine, a shotgun shell, and 11 .40 caliber cartridges.

Glymph had been previously convicted of a felony and was prohibited from possessing the guns and ammunition. Samuel Braxton, a/k/a Fats, age 44, of Temple Hills, previously pleaded guilty to his participation in the conspiracy and awaits sentencing. A total of 10 defendants have pleaded guilty to date to charges arising from the drug conspiracy.

United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended the DEA and Prince George’s County Police Department for their work in the investigation. He thanked Assistant United States Attorneys Christen A. Sproule and Steven E. Swaney, who prosecuted this Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force case.
