Takoma Park Man Guilty of Heroin and Firearms Crimes
A Takoma Park man has pleaded guilty to heroin distribution and firearms charges in U.S. District Court. Stanley Eugene Green, Jr., 42, admitted to distributing heroin and possessing firearms in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.
According to court documents, Green, along with others, distributed, conspired to distribute, and possessed with intent to distribute heroin and fentanyl in the District of Maryland and elsewhere between February 2015 and April 27, 2017.
The investigation began in August 2016, when law enforcement officers with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Takoma Park Police Department received information from a confidential informant about narcotics distribution in Takoma Park, Maryland.
Between August 2016 and April 2017, ATF and local law enforcement identified and investigated someone named ‘Rico’ who was selling heroin (later found to contain fentanyl). The investigation led to the identification of Green as the individual responsible for the heroin sales.
As part of his plea agreement, Green will be required to forfeit the firearms and ammunition seized during the search of his residence, as well as $37,592.00.
United States District Judge George J. Hazel has scheduled the sentencing for April 5, 2018.
