Mitchell Felix Brooks, PCP Conspiracy, Maryland 2023

A Washington, D.C. man has been sentenced to over 10 years in federal prison for his role in a PCP conspiracy that operated in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.

Mitchell Felix Brooks, 47, of Temple Hills, Maryland, was sentenced to 129 months in prison followed by four years of supervised release for conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute 100 grams or more of a mixture of phencyclidine (PCP).

According to his plea agreement, Brooks was a member of a PCP trafficking conspiracy that operated in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. Brooks maintained a stash house in Temple Hills, Maryland, where he stored, mixed, and packaged PCP belonging to him and co-conspirator Alexander Patton. Brooks also distributed PCP directly to customers, including co-conspirators Jermaine Washington, Reginald Duckett, and Gilbert Davis.

During a search warrant executed at Brooks's residence in December 2016, agents seized more than 250 grams of PCP in multiple bottles. Many previously used empty bottles were seized, as were many smaller one-ounce bottles used for distribution. At least 1 kilogram of PCP mixture was reasonably foreseeable to Brooks as a member of the conspiracy.

Brooks's sentence is part of a larger crackdown on PCP trafficking in the region. Other members of the conspiracy who have been sentenced include: Alexander Patton, age 41, of Waldorf, Maryland, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison; Glenn Wright, age 48, of Washington, D.C., who was sentenced to eight years in prison; Reginald Duckett, age 49, of Washington, D.C., who was sentenced to seven years in prison; Antonio Blackmon, age 42, of Temple Hills, Maryland, who was sentenced to 42 months in prison; and Jermaine Washington, age 44, of Spotsylvania Courthouse, Virginia, who was sentenced to 37 months in prison.

Hur commended the FBI's Cross Border Task Force, the Prince George's County Police Department, the Prince George's County Sheriff's Office, and the Metropolitan Police Department. Mr. Hur thanked Assistant U.S. Attorneys Joseph Baldwin and Gregory Bernstein, who are prosecuting the case.

Brooks, also known as 'Speedy,' will begin serving his sentence immediately. He was charged with conspiracy to distribute and possess with the intent to distribute 100 grams or more of a mixture of phencyclidine (PCP).
