Glenn Wright, 48, a Baltimore, Maryland resident, was sentenced to 8 years in prison followed by 3 years of supervised release for his role in a PCP conspiracy in Maryland. The sentence was handed down by United States District Judge Paula Xinis in Greenbelt, Maryland.
The conspiracy, which operated in Maryland and Washington, D.C., involved the distribution and possession of phencyclidine, also known as PCP. Wright was a member of the conspiracy and participated by purchasing PCP from Alexander Patton and then transporting and distributing it to others.
According to court documents, Wright made multiple purchases of PCP from Patton during the investigation, and during a search warrant executed at his residence in December 2016, agents seized eight glass vials of an amber liquid that was later determined to be PCP. The weight of the mixture and substance containing PCP recovered from Wright’s residence was over 100 grams.
Wright’s sentence is part of a larger effort to combat PCP trafficking in the region. Other members of the conspiracy have also been sentenced, including Alexander Patton, who was sentenced to 120 months in prison, Reginald Duckett, who received 84 months, and Jermaine Washington, who was sentenced to 37 months.
Acting United States Attorney Stephen M. Schenning commended the FBI, the Prince George’s County Police Department, the Prince George’s County Sheriff’s Office, and the Metropolitan Police Department for their work in the case. Assistant United States Attorneys Joseph Baldwin and Gregory Bernstein prosecuted the case.
The case highlights the ongoing struggle to combat narcotics trafficking in the region. The Grimy Times will continue to follow this story and provide updates as more information becomes available.
