A 20-year-old man from Malden has pleaded guilty to operating a drug trafficking enterprise in which he sold fentanyl, cocaine, and cocaine base to an undercover officer on multiple occasions.
Dhamari Jordan, a/k/a “DMO,” a/k/a “DMO Crashout,” pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute a controlled substance, one count of possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, and one count of conspiracy to possess firearms in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.
According to court documents, Jordan and other members of his conspiracy were captured on recording selling fentanyl, cocaine, and cocaine base to an undercover officer on three occasions in January 2021. During these sales, Jordan was on pretrial release for a pending firearms case in Cambridge District Court from June 2019.
A loaded 9mm firearm was recovered in Jordan’s residence at the time of his arrest. In addition, Jordan admitted to his participation in a series of shootings targeting rival gang members in November 2019 in Somerville.
The charge of conspiracy to distribute and possess a controlled substance with intent to distribute provides for a sentence of up to 40 years in prison, at least five years and up to a lifetime of supervised release, and a fine of up to $5 million. Based upon the weight of suspected narcotics involved in the conspiracy, the statute provides for a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison.
The charge of possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking conspiracy provides for a sentence of at least five years and up to life in prison to be served consecutively to the sentence imposed for the drug trafficking crime, five years of supervised release, and a fine of $250,000. The charge of conspiring to possess a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking conspiracy provides for a sentence of up to life in prison, five years of supervised release, and a fine of $250,000.
Sentences are imposed by a federal district judge based on the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors. U.S. Senior District Court Judge Douglas P. Woodlock scheduled sentencing for Dec. 13, 2021.
The operation was conducted by a multi-agency task force through the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF), a partnership between federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies.
