A 29-year-old Oxford man is behind bars after being sentenced to 14 years in federal prison for his role in a string of gun and drug charges.
Jaleel Duncan, 29, was sentenced to 169 months in prison for Possession with Intent to Distribute Quantities of Heroin, Fentanyl, Cocaine, Cocaine Base (Crack), and Marijuana, and Possession of a Firearm in Furtherance of a Drug Trafficking Crime.
The charges stem from a traffic stop by the North Carolina Alcohol Law Enforcement (ALE) in Oxford, North Carolina. Duncan was a passenger in a car that was pulled over, and when the vehicle stopped, he jumped out and ran from the scene carrying a bag.
An ALE agent chased Duncan through a neighborhood and saw him throw several items from the bag as he ran. Duncan then threw the entire bag over a fence. Agents eventually apprehended Duncan and recovered the bag, which contained a loaded 9mm pistol and marijuana.
Along Duncan’s flight path, agents found heroin laced with fentanyl, methamphetamine, and quinine, as well as quantities of cocaine, cocaine base (crack), and marijuana.
Duncan pleaded guilty to the charges on February 2, 2021.
G. Norman Acker, III, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina, made the announcement after sentencing by Chief U.S. District Judge Richard E. Myers II.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, the North Carolina Alcohol Law Enforcement, and the Oxford Police Department investigated the case, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert J. Dodson prosecuting the case.
