Aberdeen Man Sentenced to 20 Years in Federal Prison for Drug Distribution Conspiracy

By 62 Comments

From the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Baltimore:

U.S. District Judge George L. Russell, III sentenced Che Jaron Durbin, age 44, of Aberdeen, Maryland, on December 19, 2022, to 20 years in federal prison, followed by five years of supervised release, for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute cocaine and crack cocaine and for two counts of possession with intent to distribute cocaine, in connection with his participation in a drug trafficking organization distributing cocaine and crack cocaine in Harford County, Maryland.

The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Erek L. Barron; Harford County State’s Attorney Albert J. Peisinger, Jr.; Special Agent in Charge Jarod Forget of the Drug Enforcement Administration; Postal Inspector in Charge Damon E. Wood of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service – Washington Division; Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler of the Harford County Sheriff’s Office; and the Harford County Drug Task Force, a High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) program, comprised of members of the Harford County Sheriff’s Office, the Aberdeen Police Department, the Bel Air Police Department, and the Havre de Grace Police Department.

According to evidence presented at the eight-day trial, in May 2019, members of the Harford County Drug Task Force were investigating Durbin, who was suspected of drug trafficking in the Harford County area. Witnesses testified that on May 17, 2019, a U.S. Postal Inspector notified detectives that a suspicious package was en route to Durbin’s mother’s apartment in Aberdeen, Maryland. Detectives watched as a U.S. Postal Service mail carrier delivered the parcel to Durbin, who took it into the apartment. A short time later, a woman, later identified as co-defendant Jameka Cara Thompson, left the apartment with the parcel and drove to her home. Law enforcement detained Thompson and obtained a search warrant for her vehicle. The parcel was found to contain one kilogram of compressed cocaine. Further investigation revealed that co-defendant Jack Anderson from Tucson, Arizona was the sender of the package.

On January 22, 2020, law enforcement learned from U.S. Postal Inspectors that Durbin sent a parcel from Havre de Grace, Maryland, addressed to Anderson in Tucson, Arizona. A search warrant was obtained for the parcel after a K9 gave a positive alert. The parcel contained $82,300 in cash inside a wireless headphones box.

In February 2020, as part of the investigation, law enforcement intercepted Durbin’s communications, as well as those of Anderson, co-defendant Terrell Walton, and other co-defendants to whom Durbin supplied cocaine and crack cocaine. The evidence at trial demonstrated that Walton obtained cocaine from Durbin, which Walton then sold to a network of individuals in Harford County. Intercepted communications between Durbin and Walton included discussions regarding the amounts of drugs and the price, often using coded language.

According to trial testimony, in May 2020, law enforcement surveilled Durbin meeting with Anderson at a Tucson, Arizona hotel. Soon after the meeting, Durbin picked Thompson up at the Tucson Airport and drove her back to his hotel room. Durbin flew back to Maryland the next day and Thompson ultimately obtained a bulk supply of cocaine from Anderson on Durbin’s behalf. Thompson drove cross-country from Arizona to Harford County, where she was arrested on May 12, 2020. Law enforcement searched her vehicle, seizing 1.4 kilograms of cocaine. Durbin was also arrested. According to trial testimony, over the course of the conspiracy Thompson made at least eight similar trips on Durbin’s behalf, transporting almost 40 kilograms of cocaine to Maryland for Durbin to distribute.

Co-defendant Terrell Darnell Walton, age 36, of Delaware, was also convicted at trial for the drug conspiracy and was sentenced on September 23, 2022, to 13 years in federal prison. Co-defendant Jack Anderson IV, age 46, of Tucson, Arizona, was sentenced to 126 months in federal prison in December 2021, after Anderson entered a guilty plea to conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine. Co-defendants Jameka Cara Thompson, age 42, of Abingdon, Maryland, was sentenced to 33 months in federal prison; Gerrick Devlon Jackson, age 40 of Havre de Grace, Maryland, was sentenced to 72 months in federal prison; and Michael Ronnell Wells, age 38, of Forest Hill, Maryland, was sentenced to 71 months in federal prison, for their roles in the conspiracy.

United States Attorney Erek L. Barron commended the Harford County State’s Attorney’s Office, the DEA, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the Harford County Sheriff’s Office, and the Harford County Drug Task Force for their work in the investigation. Mr. Barron thanked Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Romano, who prosecuted the case.

  1. NOTE: New forum — First Post — Fresh Start

    Why does the Republican Party continue to allow this small group of radicals to hold up the Speaker of the House process? What we’re going through now is crippling the Republican Party. If they can’t even agree on a leader how will they ever be able to legislate. What we have is a crisis in the making.

    https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3802145-gaetz-says-he-will-resign-if-democrats-help-elect-a-moderate-republican-for-speaker/

    Wouldn’t it be absolutely wonderful if this abomination resigned for whatever reason. Maybe that’s something the Dems should consider. A moderate Republican Speaker would be a good thing. When all is said and done he’ll probably end up indited & convicted for his role in the Jan 6th Insurrection.

    • There wasn’t an insurrection on January 6th, 2021. It was a large group of citizens protesting the results of the 2020 election thru the use of an illegal mass mail in voting scheme that was arbitrarily allowed due to the scamdemic. The actual breach of the Capitol was cause by ANTIFA terrorists masquerading as Trump Supporters and by Capitol Police allowing the breach to take place. Pelosi even refused additional security measures as the Democrats wanted this so called insurrection to take place and have persecuted those whom did no wrong, yet gave the ANTIFA terrorists a free pass on behalf of the Democratic Party. For Christ’s sake, some States were using voting machines that had algorithms in place that stole votes from one side and gave votes to the other. Voting machines don’t need algorithms because they are supposed to count votes, not manipulate the totals. I don’t know why this has been allowed by Courts because it is the very opposite of what Democratic Elections are supposed to be. Same thing happened in 2022, but no one has the stones to say it. The country has been harmed by the fake elections and if we don’t get rid of the mass mail in balloting scheme we will never have a fair and free election again.

  5. The Speaker vote thing continues in the House. Currently, they are in recess until 10 pm. The good news for McCarthy is that he may finally have enough votes to end this circus tonight. The bad news for Kevin is that likely he had to sell himself down the river to get sufficient votes. The tragic news for our country is that we’ll be stuck with a dysfunctional House of Representatives for the next two years.

    • What do you think Democratic Control of the House has brought us? If you think the course this Country had to endure under Democratic Control hasn’t been dysfunctional then you are wrong. Very wrong. Under Pelosi, the vote of all Democrats has been extorted and forced since she became Speaker. She literally controlled all Democratic votes thru arbitrary power, passed illegal and unconstitutional legislation, passed fiscally irresponsible spending bills and set up a money laundering scheme for all these terrorist politicians involving the Ukrainian War. Do they really think we don’t realize they have been visiting Ukraine to pick up their ill gotten booty at tax payer expense? Does Pelosi really think that passing a bill to find out what is in it is the proper way to legislate? Does anybody really believe that with holding campaign funds is the proper way to get votes in Congress? Pelosi was running a Democratic Mafia and if you believe otherwise you need to educate yourself on the reality of what has been going on in that House of TREASON since she has been Speaker.

    • First and foremost Bob you are an ass. Mr. /Dr. Harris is a physician. A person in an occupation which is committed to helping people stay healthy and alive. Secondly you are an ass. He is exercising his 2nd amendment right and is licensed to carry a firearm. If no one gave you the skinny Washington DC is not generally considered to be a safe place. Thirdly you are an ass. I encourage you to go to MD Case Search and enter Mr. Harris’s name in an attempt to ascertain if he possesses anything in his history that would generate concerns regarding him exercising his Constitutional right to carry a firearm. Fourthly you are an ass. Do you think that Mr./ Dr. Harris is the only one in Congress to legally carry a firearm and does so on the hill. You again have displayed that you are nothing more than a partisan operative for the Left on a mission to divide our nation and eventually facilitate a one party system of Government. You are such a hypocrite and an antagonist. I have met very few people in my life that craves more attention than you. Actually I feel sorry for anyone that is so naive and clueless. On a high note for you. This was probably one of your top ten most ridiculous posts you have ever authored.

So now, we have to wait for yet another grand jury to review the Special Grand Jury’s recommendations. Don’t hold your breath.

What’s assured is that the extreme right won’t give him a moment’s peace. When all is said and done McCarthy will rue the day he became speaker. His House leadership is a huge step backward for our country.

    • Hi Bob,

      I’m curious. It turns out Joe Biden had his own set of classified documents in a place they were not supposed to be… so the question begs: Why hasn’t the FBI and other agencies sent armed teams storming into his residences in the middle of the night?

      This is a prime opportunity to demonstrate how Trump was handled is how the government intends to handle this type of behavior for everyone. Oh wait, unless it is not for everyone… wow.

      I suspect this has to be a bit more than inconvenient, huh?

      No, I don’t expect our resident troll to answer this. Enjoy your day, Bob the Befuddling Troll.

      As I said, always good for a laugh.

    https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/3806192-trump-responds-to-biden-classified-document-discovery-asks-when-fbi-will-raid-his-many-homes/

    This response by Trump is typical. He never lets the fact of the situation get in his way. Clearly a case of apples and oranges. Biden and his team did what they should have done when the documents were discovered. Whereas Trump and his team didn’t.

    • Maybe some Democrats have been Teflon and off limits for far too long. I am still trying to figure out why you appear so concerned about what might be uncovered. They could be committing the most heinous and despicable crimes or other types of horrible misconduct and the DOJ will run interference and the MSM will not cover it. Only about half of the country will hear the truth from the more conservative platforms. The rest will be at the mercy of censorship and the deniers and liars. You know those guys that support your accepted version of the truth. Calm down, take a breath. You guys control the fix and the tempo.

      • Yeah, long gone are the days when a politician could challenge the media to follow and/or investigate and then actually get caught doing the wrong thing and pay a price for it… I think back to Gary Hart. It still makes me laugh. I recall Jay Leno making a joke out of it… “he is in the election, he is out, in and out, in and out, etc., wasn’t that what got him in trouble in the first place?” Ah, the days when the media did its job, not the propaganda machine it is today.

        We did not necessarily need Congress to investigate the ugly truths, the media exposed that for us. Congress just had to do so to make accountability take effect. These clowns today, hold up phantom evidence, offer invisible witnesses, flagrantly lie to the American people; and the media applauds them for it. Pure propaganda.

        They rely on mindless drones to soak up their sewage. And they do. Boy, don’t we know it!

      • In light of recent events it is beginning to possibly explain why Bob is so adamantly opposed to the investigation of the conduct of some Democrats by the Republican run House of Representatives. I know that the Democrats still control the fix but it was particularly enjoyable seeing Attorney General Garland being painted in to a corner and being forced to appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate President Biden. I would bet that Mr. Garland is main lining Imodium tonight.

          The way I see it… if they have found these things in the garage, by his lawyers, it makes me wonder where else they have been left. Have to be honest, I do not think to look in a garage for classified documents as it does not seem like a normal storage area for this type of stuff. So it has me wondering where else the buffoon may have left them.

          I have to say, watching Doocy at these pressers is better than paid entertainment. It’s probably a good thing that Biden’s mouthpiece KJP came out of moveon.org, so lying to the American people comes rather naturally.

          I think it is also telling Bob seems to be waiting for the spin cycle to stop before addressing the issue here. I cannot wait. I’d like to think Bob may just want to avoid getting thrashed about the room again.

          Well, the stench from this scandal likely has connections to content on Hunter’s laptop… and with Twitter now not being controlled by the DNC cabal, not too many places for the rats to hide this time. There may be a hint CBS is waking up out of this trance the left has put them. There is a small glimmer of hope.

    • Hi Bob,

      Interesting observation you make about doing the right thing…

      Reminds me of a situation where an elected official promised a transparent administration but then buried a story for a couple months about some classified documents in a garage… turns out this was discovered about a week before the midterms and released to the public a couple months later.

      Hmm… so we have a flagrant violation of federal law (a high crime) committed by a sitting president. Then we have an elaborate cover-up to hide the truth from the American people. By the time the DOJ finally gets involved we now see a double standard for the application of the law applied. Truth is, Biden should have just destroyed the documents, you know, like a laptop of a Secretary of State that destroyed documents subject to a subpoena… yep, do the right thing.(could you detect the sarcasm?)

      So tell me, Bob, the administration is trying to sell they ‘did the right’ thing by doing something after being caught in a lie, cover-up, and crime; and some of the media is finally waking up to this fact and pressing for answers… but this sure looks like it was the politically expedient thing to do, doesn’t it?

      Of course you won’t answer. Tell you what Bob, you just struck out (again) and are hitless in this long game. Keep digging, though, perhaps one day you will get a base hit.

  16. “Five takeaways from Supreme Court leak investigation”

    https://www.politico.com/news/2023/01/19/five-takeaways-from-supreme-court-leak-investigation-00078673

    In May 2022 Chief justice Roberts directed the Marshal (Gail Curley) of the Court to launch an investigation into the source of the abortion ruling leak. Now 8 months later they have issued their report saying, “The team to date they been unable to identify a person responsible by a preponderance of the evidence”.

    Chief Justice made a huge mistake having the Marshal of the court head this type of inquiry. Curley is not trained to conduct such an investigation. The Supreme Court, especially the Robert’s Court, needs reforms –term limits & enforceable code of ethics. America’s confidence in the Supreme Court is at a historic low.

      “An investigation of the abortion opinion leak was meant to right the institution amid a slide in public confidence. Instead, employees say, it deepened suspicions and caused disillusionment'”

      So where does the failure of the 8-month Curley investigation into the SCOTUS abortion leak leave us? Are we now going to just let it go and move on — or are we going to have a real inquiry by someone qualified to handle these types of investigations? I sincerely hopes it’s the latter. The Robert’s Court is a rogue bunch in need of close supervision.

    • Last night I felt like watching a movie which featured low stress mindless humor. I chose the hilarious 1993 movie Hot Shots Part Deux. Lloyd Bridges appeared in the movie as POTUS Thomas “Tug” Benson. Sadly there were many significant parallels between the character portrayed and our current President affectionately referred to by some on this forum as “Exceptional Joe”. I encourage all to view the movie and see if you come to similar conclusions. Actually very concerning.

      • What does anyone think China would do if we entered an information recording balloon in to their airspace even if we claimed it was for “weather research” ? They would promptly and rightly shoot it down. President Biden is not only clueless and balless but he is also clearly a “ balloon buffoon”. I highly suggest that the those people who blindly follow the blatant governmental mismanagement system known as the Democratic Party off the cliff better quickly reevaluate and reconsider other options. Otherwise our grandchildren will be speaking Chinese. They have us out classed from a military, economic and certainly technology standpoint. Without immediate redirection our country as we know it will be done. The Chinese are concentrating on improving their military and technological superiority and we are worried about gender identity. Pathetic. I don’t care who does it but it is time to make America great and. Strong again before it is too late.

        • I have a couple of questions:

          1) Trump lover or hater. Conservative or Liberal. How many people think that the Chinese would have tried this on Trump’s watch?

          2) If they did this under Trump’s watch how many people feel that balloon would still be in the sky?

          3) How many people feel that Hunter Biden’s past dealings with China may have impacted his father’s decision making regarding the balloon incident?

          I am anxiously awaiting responses.

          0

          • You know exactly what sorts of responses you’ll get.

            To your questions, though.

            1) On Trump’s watch? Hard to say. I could easily ask if Osama bin Laden would have directed 9/11 on anyone else’s watch, or any event for that matter. Frankly it is irrelevant. The bigger question might be, “why now?” The answer to that may be equally perplexing and elusive. We’re fractured, divided, etc., and that is EXACTLY where Russia and China want us; and they are doing a splendid job keeping us there. I think their psyops folks are working overtime to maintain this division, and folks are handily falling for it. Just look at the volume of rhetoric that digs deepest to passions, gloats, mocks, etc. I’m not confident another 9/11 would bring people together at this point. Lincoln was right, you cannot invade the US, but you can divide it.

            2) This one cannot actually be answered. Well, either it would be down or still up. Honestly you cannot do any better. It would depend greatly on the risk assessment developed by his advisors. What is on that thing? Another ‘w u h a n f l u’? Something like this ought to be used for political advantage to yield concessions out of China. In the late 1940s the Soviets blockaded Berlin, clearly an act of war, or was it? Stalin tried to put pressure on the US to respond. In essence get them to fire the first shot. Truman’s advisors were smarter. If the ground was blocked, okay, we’ll supply by air. The air corridors, to be blockaded, would require the Soviets to ALSO shoot down allied aircraft. That put the pressure back on the Soviets. Berlin was a sore spot, but not worth another war. I’m rather disappointed, unless it is just not in the public eye, we’re not using this to put pressure on the Chinese.

            3) Hunter…. clearly a liability and certainly evidence Joe Biden may be compromised. The pile around Hunter, his father, and everything they touched… China, Ukraine, etc., smells to high heaven. I honestly do not think it is an issue here. I think the observation that we have a clown circus running the show that cares more about gender issues than security is the issue.

          • Thank God that President Biden is just a puppet President and not the Police Chief of a major jurisdiction. Let me create a hypothetical scenario to convey my point. You have a known thief or burglar who doesn’t live in your jurisdiction but has a history of stealing repeatedly in your area for years. You have information that same individual
            Is approaching your jurisdiction and you do nothing. You then have information that the same individual, who has no lawful reason to be there, comes and possibly steals repeatedly from the residents and by doing so has ultimately threatened or impacted the quality of life of those who were victimized. The police chief then directs his officers to take no action and allows the thief not only to leave the area but also gives him the opportunity
            to dispose of his proceeds making it virtually impossible to determine the amount of harm or loss that had occurred. When questioned by the constituents the police chief offers a lame justification for his inaction. Would anyone feel comfortable having someone like the Chief in charge? Just asking.

    • Hi Bob,

      ‘Progressive’ cannot live with ‘liberal’ as a label, at least in the political sense. Liberal, though, mischaracterized by pundits and politicians alike; suggests the notions of ‘freedom’ and ‘independent’ thought and philosophy. Progressives hardly venture into that realm of thinking – ever.

      Progressives are mere modern day Jacobins, or in other words, communists. Yes, I skipped past the socialist notion. Socialist suggests there may be some realm of society served by individual pursuit rather than the state, but American progressives are state-worshippers. Progressives love mandates. Progressives love ‘big brother’ watching our every move – did you see what Mfume wants the government to start doing? Thought-crime will soon be a thing.

      I know you don’t like the Orwellian references, but he did put his writing crosshairs right over totalitarianism. You don’t see it because you are already convinced 2+2=5. You are a prole, a useful idiot. You are allowed to break the small rules if you obey the big ones. You build the coffin believing it to be intended for someone else. Heck, you dig the hole believing someone else will fill it.

      I’ve said all this before. I feel bad for you. You surrendered your mind. You see ‘progress’ by taking society ‘backwards’ to an age before limited government, before restraints on government’s infringements on your rights. You feel safe submitting yourself to a system that gives you everything, knowing it can conversely take everything without your consent. That is sad. It is not progressive, at least by an accepted definition of the word.

      Since Orwell sends you into a lather…. I’ll invoke Voltaire, paraphrase here, ‘you know who controls you by knowing who you cannot criticize’. We have today entire segments of society catapulted by ‘progressive’ notions of ‘woke-ism’ that cannot be questioned, let alone criticized; with the hope not being canceled.

      How can a society reaching back to an age of empires in the dark ages be moving forward? Asking for me.

    My take on the situation is that John Durham somehow lost his way. He allowed himself to be used by Trump and Bill Barr. It’s really a sad situation that a man with his qualifications and experience could let this happen. He will now have to live with the consequences of his actions.

    • Go read everything Adam goldsmith and Charlie savage have written. They are bullshit artists used to cover for the intelligence community. Until you wake up and realize where the bull crap is coming from you will never be able to see how the media manipulates you.

  26. “Trump unveils new education policy loaded with culture war proposals”

I’m sure most of what’s contained within his so-called policy is nothing but a bunch of dog whistles for the haters. Also, just for good measure, he wants to remove “the radical zealots and Marxists” he claims have “infiltrated” the Department of Education. He’s just a pathetic P.O.S.

    Obviously, his proposals aren’t really about education. All he’s trying to do is fire up the ‘dirty thirty’ for the 2024 Presidential Election.

    • Really? Do you think Obama’s policy of education was correct? Do you think our young people are smarter than those who came before them? Remember, education isn’t about everybody agreeing with your politics or philosophy. Education is about teaching the basics and then giving those who mastered the basics impartial information so they can make decisions that make sense. It’s called critical thinking and it is becoming lost due to the Democratic take over of the educational system. Last time I checked, the Federal Government wasn’t supposed to be setting a curriculum or teaching political hatred amongst our youth…
