Kansas City Man Indicted for Firearms and Narcotics Charges
A Kansas City, Missouri man has been indicted for being a felon in possession of a firearm, possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug-trafficking offense, and possessing with intent to distribute cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl, according to official reports.
Darell Farmer, 30, was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges stemming from an arrest following an apparent shooting in Kansas City, Missouri. Police observed a handgun in Farmer’s car during the arrest, and subsequent searches uncovered significant quantities of controlled substances and another handgun in the trunk of the car.
The indictment alleges that on May 5, 2025, Farmer possessed two firearms as a felon and in furtherance of the distribution of cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl.
The charges contained in this indictment are simply accusations, and not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charges must be presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.
This case is being prosecuted by Special Assistant U.S. Attorney James Kirkpatrick. It was investigated by the U.S. Marshals Service and Midwest Fugitive Task Force.
The charges against Darell Farmer include:
- Bearing Arms in Furtherance of a Drug Trafficking Crime
- Being a Felon in Possession of a Firearm
- Possession with Intent to Distribute Cocaine
- Possession with Intent to Distribute Methamphetamine
- Possession with Intent to Distribute Fentanyl
This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.
