LeSeam Johnson, Fentanyl Trafficking, Tennessee 2026

MEMPHIS, TN - In a major blow to the city's fight against narcotics, a local resident has been sentenced to 262 months in federal prison for his role in a fentanyl trafficking operation.

LeSeam Johnson, aka LeSean Wallace, 40, of Memphis, was found guilty of distribution of fentanyl and a firearm, possession of a firearm during a drug trafficking offense, and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

A federal indictment was filed against Johnson in August 2025, and he pleaded guilty to the charges on February 3, 2026. In addition to the prison sentence, Johnson will also serve five years of supervised release upon his release from prison.

According to evidence presented in court, Johnson made multiple sales of 1/2 oz. to 2 oz. quantities of fentanyl to an undercover agent in April and May 2025. During one of the sales, Johnson also sold an AR-style pistol, and on a separate occasion, sold fake narcotics to the undercover agent.

Johnson's prior conviction history demonstrates his disrespect for the law and his imminent danger to the public, said U.S. Attorney D. Michael Dunavant.

The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Memphis Police Department's Organized Crime Unit. Assistant U.S. Attorney Greg Wagner prosecuted the case on behalf of the government.

Johnson's sentencing underscores the collective efforts of law enforcement agencies to maintain public safety and prevent the distribution of deadly narcotics.
