Baltimore Man Sentenced to 12 Years for Crack Cocaine Possession
A Baltimore man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for his role in a crack cocaine distribution ring. Kintrell Todd McEachern, 31, of Lochearn, Maryland, was sentenced to 12 years in prison followed by three years of supervised release for possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine.
U.S. District Judge William D. Quarles, Jr. also ordered that McEachern forfeit $13,601.50 seized during a search of his home. The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge Karl C. Colder of the Drug Enforcement Administration – Washington Field Division; and Chief James W. Johnson of the Baltimore County Police Department.
According to McEachern’s guilty plea, on January 24, 2012, law enforcement executed a search warrant at his residence and recovered a total of 344.2 grams of crack cocaine and $13,601.50 in cash. McEachern was arrested outside the home and searched. Law enforcement recovered 55.8 grams of crack cocaine from McEachern.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended the DEA and Baltimore County Police Department for their work in the investigation. Mr. Rosenstein thanked Assistant United States Attorneys Brooke Carey and Peter M. Nothstein, who prosecuted the case.
McEachern’s sentencing is a significant blow to the Baltimore community, where crack cocaine has been a major problem for years. The sentencing of McEachern and others like him is a reminder that law enforcement is committed to keeping the community safe.
The case is a prime example of the importance of interagency cooperation in fighting crime. The DEA, Baltimore County Police Department, and U.S. Attorney’s Office worked together to bring McEachern to justice.
