Brandon DeShawn Campbell, Drug Trafficking, Texas 2012
A Dallas man has been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for his role in a large-scale drug trafficking operation.
Brandon DeShawn Campbell, 32, was convicted at trial in December 2012 of possession with intent to distribute marijuana, possession with intent to distribute methylenedioxy methamphetamine (MDMA or 'ecstasy'), and two counts of possessing a firearm in furtherance of, and used during and in relation to, a drug trafficking crime.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Campbell and his co-defendant, Tyrone Alan Allen, used a home on Teague Street in a residential area of Dallas to deal various drugs, including crack, PCP, marijuana, and ecstasy.
During the execution of a search warrant at that residence on December 12, 2011, authorities recovered the drugs, along with five firearms.
Campbell was a regular worker at the house and Allen would front Campbell $500 worth of cocaine and $500 worth of marijuana per week and allow Campbell to sell the drugs from the house to keep the 'trap' running at all hours of the night.
The investigation was conducted by the Dallas Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Lisa J. Miller and Taly Haffar prosecuted the case.
Campbell was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Reed C. O'Connor to 360 months in federal prison.
The conviction and sentencing are the result of an investigation by the Dallas Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
