Jacquese Dominique Warren, Methamphetamine Trafficking, North Carolina 2025

Armed Methamphetamine Dealer Sentenced in Charlotte, NC

A Charlotte man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for his role in a methamphetamine trafficking operation.

According to investigators, Jacquese Dominique Warren, 36, was selling narcotics from his hotel room in Charlotte, North Carolina. Law enforcement began an investigation into Warren's activities in October 2024, after learning he was involved in narcotics trafficking.

During the investigation, law enforcement conducted multiple controlled drug buys from Warren, resulting in the seizure of methamphetamine, firearms, and ammunition. On at least two occasions, an individual cooperating with law enforcement purchased methamphetamine and firearms from Warren, including two rifles fitted with 30-round high-capacity magazines, as well as boxes of ammunition.

On February 8, 2025, Warren was involved in a shootout outside of the hotel where he was staying. Law enforcement responding to the scene obtained and executed a search warrant for Warren's room, resulting in the seizure of an AR pistol and a revolver reported stolen, quantities of cocaine base, MDMA, and several boxes of ammunition.

Warren pleaded guilty in September 2025 to possession of a firearm by a felon and distribution of methamphetamine. He is currently in federal custody pending placement with the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Assistant U.S. Attorney William Wiseman was in charge of the prosecution. The ATF and CMPD investigated the case.

This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.
