New Orleans Man Brandon Dunn Guilty of Drug Trafficking and Machinegun Possession
NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA – Brandon Dunn, age 20, pleaded guilty on April 1, 2026 before U.S. District Judge Greg G. Guidry to conspiracy to distribute, and possession with intent to distribute, marijuana, in violation of Title 21, United States Code, Sections 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(D), and 846, and possession of a machinegun, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 922(o) and 924(a)(2).
The charges against Dunn stem from a federal investigation into a conspiracy to distribute marijuana in the New Orleans area. According to court documents, Dunn was involved in a large-scale marijuana trafficking operation that brought in significant amounts of money.
As part of his guilty plea, Dunn admitted to conspiring with others to distribute marijuana and possessing a machinegun in furtherance of that conspiracy. The machinegun, a .50-caliber M2HB, was recovered by law enforcement during the investigation.
Dunn’s sentencing is scheduled for June 15, 2026, before U.S. District Judge Greg G. Guidry. He faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for the marijuana trafficking charges and up to 10 years for the machinegun possession charge.
The investigation into Dunn’s activities was led by the U.S. Department of Justice, with assistance from local law enforcement agencies. The case highlights the ongoing efforts of federal and local authorities to combat large-scale marijuana trafficking in the New Orleans area.
Dunn’s guilty plea marks a significant victory for law enforcement in the fight against marijuana trafficking and machinegun possession. As the investigation continues, it is likely that more individuals will be charged in connection with the conspiracy.
