Dallas Man Sentenced to 135 Months in Prison for Methamphetamine and Cocaine Trafficking
A 31-year-old Dallas man has been sentenced to 135 months in federal prison for his role in a methamphetamine and cocaine trafficking conspiracy in East Texas, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Nicholas J. Ganjei today.
Zachariah Logan Carl pleaded guilty on April 12, 2021, to conspiring to possess with intent to deliver methamphetamine and cocaine. He was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Amos L. Mazzant on [date].
According to information presented in court, from May 2019 through September 2019, a narcotics investigation into methamphetamine, MDMA, and other drugs identified Carl as the main source of supply in and around Cooke County.
On September 17, 2021, Carl was arrested on an outstanding felony warrant at his Dallas apartment, along with co-defendants Michael Luke Allison and Mary Margaret Merrell. A search of the apartment revealed an assault-style rifle, 489 grams of methamphetamine, 82.387 grams of cocaine, a digital scale, and other evidence of narcotics trafficking.
Other members of the conspiracy included Dallas residents Kathe Tran Vo, James Travis Tanner, Maxine Juliette Mitchell, and James Anthony Marzioli, who have all previously pleaded guilty and been sentenced to terms of imprisonment. Marzioli was sentenced to 135 months, Allison received 60 months, and Merrell was sentenced to 120 months in federal prison.
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Cooke County Sheriff’s Office, the Dallas Police Department, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Rockwall County Sheriff’s Office. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew T. Johnson.
‘The sentence handed down today reflects EDTX’s policy to aggressively target and pursue those responsible for bringing drugs into the Eastern District regardless of where they live,’ said Acting U.S. Attorney Nicholas J. Ganjei. ‘Drug traffickers need to understand that despite their best efforts, it is only a matter of time until they are caught and brought to justice.’
