Methamphetamine Distribution Ring Cracked in Louisiana
A California man has been charged with conspiring to distribute and possess with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine in violation of federal law. Daniel Stephen Wray, 34, was charged in a one-count indictment by a federal grand jury on March 24, 2023.
According to the indictment, Wray, a/k/a ‘Danny,’ a/k/a ‘Tubs,’ a/k/a ‘El Gordo,’ faces a statutory mandatory minimum sentence of ten years, up to life imprisonment, a fine of up to $10,000,000, at least five years of supervised release following any term of imprisonment, and a $100 mandatory special assessment fee if convicted.
Wray, a resident of Chula Vista, California, is accused of conspiring with others to distribute and possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine in Louisiana. The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Louisiana State Police.
The prosecution is being handled by Assistant United States Attorney J. Benjamin Myers of the Narcotics Unit. U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans reiterated that the indictment is merely a charging document and that the guilt of the defendant must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
Grimy Times has learned that Wray’s alleged activities have been under investigation for several months. While the indictment marks a significant development in the case, the outcome remains uncertain.
As the investigation continues, Grimy Times will provide updates on the case. In the meantime, residents of Louisiana are encouraged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
