Darrell Glen Harris, Methamphetamine and Fentanyl Trafficking Conspiracy, Las Vegas NV, 2023

A federal grand jury has returned a 15-count indictment charging five Las Vegas residents in connection to a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and fentanyl. The defendants, including Darrell Glen Harris, 41, Lamar Deshawn Rosser, 43, Paulina Hernandez, 32, Alexandra Trineysha Henriques, 27, and Joey Lamar McRoyal, 43, are accused of conspiring together to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine and 40 grams or more of fentanyl from August 2022 to June 20, 2023.

According to the indictment, Harris supplied McRoyal and Rosser with methamphetamine, fentanyl, cocaine, and other controlled substances for distribution in Las Vegas. The investigation resulted in seizures of methamphetamine, fentanyl, cocaine, heroin, MDMA, xylazine, and firearms in the District of Nevada. Law enforcement also learned that Harris supplied individuals with narcotics in other states, resulting in the seizure of methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cocaine in Pensacola, Florida.

Each defendant is charged with Conspiracy to Distribute a Controlled Substance (Methamphetamine and Fentanyl), and other charges. If convicted, the statutory maximum penalty is life imprisonment, lifetime supervised release, a fine, and a special assessment.

United States Attorney Jason M. Frierson for the District of Nevada and Assistant Special Agent in Charge Kevin Adams for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Las Vegas District Office made the announcement. The DEA Las Vegas District Office investigated the case, with Assistant United States Attorney Joshua Brister prosecuting.

This effort was part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) operation. OCDETF identifies, disrupts, and dismantles the highest-level criminal organizations that threaten the United States, using a prosecutor-led, intelligence-driven, multi-agency approach.

An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

A jury trial has been scheduled for August 21, 2023, before United States District Judge Cristina D. Silva. Harris, McRoyal, Rosser, Hernandez, and Henriques made their initial court appearance on June 21, 2023, before United States Magistrate Judge Daniel J. Albregts. Joey Lamar McRoyal was apprehended in Los Angeles, California, and is awaiting an initial appearance in Las Vegas.
