BOSTON – Dhamari Jordan, 22, of Malden, Massachusetts, walked out of federal court yesterday having already served his time for running a low-level drug operation and illegally possessing firearms. U.S. District Court Judge Leo T. Sorokin sentenced Jordan to time served – roughly three years – plus five years of supervised release. The sentencing concludes a case built on multiple sales to an undercover officer.
Federal prosecutors detailed how Jordan, also known as “DMO” and “DMO Crashout,” conspired with others to distribute fentanyl, cocaine, and crack cocaine. The transactions, captured on recordings, took place on three separate occasions in January 2021. What’s particularly damning? Jordan was already out on bail for a 2019 firearms case in Cambridge District Court when he was allegedly pushing dope.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), along with the FBI, Massachusetts State Police, and multiple local departments, built the case. The investigation revealed Jordan wasn’t just slinging drugs; he was doing it with firearms, leading to charges of possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime and conspiracy to possess firearms for the same purpose. This isn’t a simple possession case; it’s a clear link between drugs and guns on the streets of Massachusetts.
Acting U.S. Attorney Joshua S. Levy, Christopher DiMenna (Acting Special Agent in Charge, FBI Boston), James M. Ferguson (Special Agent in Charge, ATF Boston), and Interim Colonel John E. Mawn, Jr. (Massachusetts State Police) jointly announced the sentencing. The Middlesex and Suffolk District Attorney’s Offices, along with the Boston and Malden Police Departments, also provided crucial assistance. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Philip A. Mallard and Sarah Hoefle, from the Organized Crime & Gang Unit, handled the prosecution.
This operation was flagged as part of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF), a federal initiative focused on dismantling major criminal organizations. OCDETF’s multi-agency approach aims to target the highest levels of drug trafficking and related crime, but cases like Jordan’s demonstrate that even smaller players contribute to the larger problem.
While Jordan received time served, the five-year supervised release period means he’ll remain under federal scrutiny. Whether this is enough to prevent him from returning to his old habits remains to be seen. The ATF and its partners will continue to monitor those involved in illegal firearms and drug activity, attempting to stem the flow of both onto the streets of Massachusetts.
