Jaime Edward MCCLELLAN, Heroin Trafficking, Minnesota 2015

A 31-year-old Twin Cities man has been charged with selling heroin that resulted in death and conspiring to sell heroin.

According to the federal indictment, Jaime Edward MCCLELLAN, a/k/a, ‘Goldie Armani Callaway,’ a/k/a, ‘Jaime Edward McClennan,’ a/k/a, ‘Armando Blanco,’ a/k/a, ‘Red,’ sold heroin to a victim in Medina, Minnesota on October 23, 2015.

The defendant warned the victim to be careful while using the heroin that night because it was ‘good stuff.’

MCCLELLAN was arrested on December 16, 2015, at which time he had in his possession at least 15 grams of heroin and approximately $400,000 in cash.

Between January 2014 and December 2015, MCCLELLAN conspired with others in Minnesota to distribute more than two pounds of heroin.

In December 2015, MCCLELLAN sold heroin on at least four separate occasions to undercover law enforcement agents.

When arrested on December 16, 2015, the defendant was in possession of a 10mm semi-automatic pistol, which he was prohibited from owning because he had previously been convicted of a felony.
