Evan Tangeman Indicted for Cocaine Trafficking, Washington DC, 2024

In a stunning move, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia has unsealed a federal indictment against Evan Tangeman, a 32-year-old Washington D.C. resident, charging him with cocaine trafficking.

The indictment, returned on January 12, 2024, alleges that Tangeman was involved in a large-scale cocaine distribution operation in the nation’s capital. According to court documents, Tangeman conspired with others to import and distribute cocaine in the Washington D.C. area.

Details of the investigation remain scarce, but sources close to the matter indicate that law enforcement agencies began tracking Tangeman’s activities in 2023. The probe involved a multi-agency task force, including the FBI, DEA, and local Washington D.C. police.

Tangeman, who faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted, has been released on a $500,000 bond pending a hearing. His attorney, Kevin L. Rosenberg, has declined to comment on the charges.

As part of the indictment, prosecutors are seeking the forfeiture of any assets Tangeman obtained as a result of his alleged crimes. The exact amount of the forfeiture is not specified in court documents.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia has not disclosed any further information regarding the case. A spokesperson for the office stated that all details will be revealed in court proceedings. Tangeman’s next court appearance is scheduled for April 10, 2024.
