A Green Bay man was sentenced to 10 years in prison for his role in a heroin distribution ring that led to an accidental overdose death, as well as sex trafficking.
According to court documents, Damien D. Gambrell, 37, of Green Bay, was sentenced on August 3, 2018, in federal court in Green Bay for conspiracy to distribute heroin and enticement of another to travel in interstate commerce to engage in a prostitution act.
Gambrell was found guilty of conspiracy to distribute over 100 grams of heroin and was also accused of soliciting adult women to engage in prostitution acts in the greater Green Bay area as well as Chicago, Illinois.
Chief United States District Judge William C. Griesbach sentenced Gambrell to a 10-year term of imprisonment on the drug conspiracy charge and a 10-year term of imprisonment to run concurrently on the enticement charge.
Gambrell was also required to register as a sex offender due to the enticement conviction.
The case was investigated by the Green Bay Police Department, Brown County District Attorney’s Office, and Brown County Drug Task Force. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney William Roach.
In imposing sentence, Chief Judge Griesbach stressed the tragic nature of the case, including the accidental overdose death, and the impact it had on the victim’s family and community.
Chief Judge Griesbach stated that Gambrell’s exploitation of drug addicts and adult women for his financial gain warranted a lengthy sentence and should deter others from committing a similar offense.
Gambrell will also be placed on supervised release for 10 years following his term of imprisonment.
