Texas Woman Convicted in Multi-Agency Drug Sting

A 33-year-old Carrollton woman has been found guilty of federal drug conspiracy charges in the Eastern District of Texas, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Brit Featherston today.

Nimrose Khan pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute Schedule I controlled substances, conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute controlled substance analogues, and engaging in monetary transactions. Khan entered her guilty plea today before U.S. Magistrate Judge K. Nicole Mitchell.

The case stems from a joint investigation by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, Plano Police Department, Internal Revenue Service, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and Smith County Sheriff’s Office, which executed federal arrest and search warrants on August 4, 2016, at multiple locations in Plano, Carrollton, Dallas and Tyler, Texas.

According to court documents, Khan and her co-defendants conspired to distribute synthetic drugs at two retail establishments in the Eastern District of Texas: Minute Stop/Valero Gas Station located at 11874 Hwy 64 West in Tyler, Texas and Ashes Smokes and Tattoos located at 1428 Avenue K in Plano, Texas.

Khan and four others were indicted by a federal grand jury on August 3, 2016. Under federal statutes, Khan faces up to 20 years in federal prison at sentencing.

The case is being investigated by the DEA, Plano Police Department, IRS, ATF, and the Smith County Sheriff’s Office and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Mary Ann Cozby.
