A Wilmington man, Tysuan Nash, 31, was sentenced to 80 months in federal prison for possession with intent to distribute 28 grams or more of crack cocaine and a quantity of heroin and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.

According to court documents and information provided in court, on September 15, 2017, Nash was stopped by a New Hanover County Sheriff’s deputy for a traffic violation. Nash had an outstanding order for arrest.

During a search of the car, law enforcement found a quantity of crack cocaine, $2,565, and a loaded .38 caliber handgun. Nash was arrested and was released. On November 7, 2017, New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office narcotics detectives made a controlled purchase of heroin and crack from Nash.

Nash was subsequently arrested during a traffic stop. Detectives found a .380 caliber handgun, 2 clips of heroin, almost three ounces of crack, and $536 which included buy money from the earlier controlled purchase. Detectives learned that Nash had been receiving 9 ounces of cocaine at a time that he was cooking into crack cocaine.
