Fort Wayne Man Sentenced to 240 Months in Prison for Methamphetamine Distribution

Calvin Mitchell, Jr., 39 years old, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, was sentenced to 240 months in prison for distributing over 50 grams of methamphetamine, announced United States Attorney Clifford D. Johnson.

Mitchell was sentenced by United States District Court Judge Holly A. Brady after pleading guilty to distribution of more than 50 grams of methamphetamine.

According to documents in the case, in February and March 2021, law enforcement conducted controlled buys of over 380 grams of methamphetamine from Mitchell.

During one of the buys, Mitchell boasted about having fentanyl available that was so strong ‘it was killing people.’

When officers searched Mitchell’s residence, they located large quantities of a cutting agent and over $7,000 in cash.

Lab tests confirmed the purchased methamphetamine was 100% pure.

This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration with the assistance of the Fort Wayne Police Department.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Brent Ecenbarger.

In sentencing Mitchell, the court noted the severity of the offense and the impact it had on the community.

Mitchell will serve 240 months in prison followed by 5 years of supervised release.
