Tennessee Man Arrested for MDMA, LSD at Bonnaroo
A Chattanooga man has pleaded guilty to possessing with the intent to distribute MDMA and LSD at the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tennessee.
Graham Mitchell Clark, also known as ‘Molly Poppins,’ entered his plea before the Honorable Susan Lee, U.S. Magistrate Judge, on August 29, 2018.
Clark faces a federal prison term of up to 40 years and at least four years supervision by U.S. Probation upon his release from prison. Sentencing is set for November 30, 2018, in U.S District Court, Chattanooga.
According to documents, agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation conducted an undercover drug buy from Clark at the 2017 Bonnaroo. At the time, Clark was known to federal law enforcement as an individual who distributed drugs at various music festivals under the trade name ‘Molly Poppins.’
After his arrest, officers inventoried his car and found approximately a half-pound of MDMA and over five gross grams of LSD. In his plea agreement, Clark admitted that he used cryptocurrency to purchase the drugs via the ‘dark web.’
The investigation was a collaborative effort between the TBI, FBI, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and Manchester Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kyle Wilson represented the United States in court proceedings.
Graham Mitchell Clark’s conviction is a major blow to the illicit drug trade in Tennessee, and law enforcement agencies are praising the success of this investigation.
