Allan Bryan DeJesus, Possession with Intent to Distribute Heroin, Kansas 2019

Kansas City, KS – A 78-month prison sentence was handed down to a California man for his role in smuggling heroin and methamphetamine to Kansas City.

On January 5, 2019, Allan Bryan DeJesus, 40, of Bakersfield, California, was pulled over by the Kansas Highway Patrol on I-70 in Thomas County. During the traffic stop, a trooper discovered two pounds of heroin and 20 pounds of crystal methamphetamine in DeJesus’ vehicle.

DeJesus pleaded guilty to one count of possession with intent to distribute heroin as part of his plea deal. The plea stated that the heroin and methamphetamine were intended for distribution in Kansas.

The investigation was a collaborative effort between the Kansas Highway Patrol, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and Assistant U.S. Attorney David Lind.

U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister commended the agencies involved in the case for their hard work and dedication to keeping the community safe.

The case serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle against drug trafficking in Kansas and the importance of interagency cooperation in preventing the flow of illicit substances into the state.

DeJesus’ prison sentence is a significant blow to those involved in the illicit drug trade, and it is a testament to the tireless efforts of law enforcement to hold accountable those who seek to profit from the suffering of others.
