An Akron man was indicted for having a firearm while trafficking carfentanil, fentanyl and methamphetamine.
Dorian McGhee, 29, was indicted on one count of possession of firearms in furtherance of drug trafficking, one count of possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and carfentanil, and one count of possession with intent distribute methamphetamine.
McGhee possessed the drugs on April 17, 2019, as well as two 9 mm handguns, according to the indictment.
If convicted, the defendant’s sentence will be determined by the Court after a review of factors unique to this case, including the defendant’s prior criminal record, if any, the defendant’s role in the offense and the characteristics of the violations. In all cases, the sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum and, in most cases, it will be less than the maximum.
The investigation was conducted by members of the Akron Police Department Narcotics Unit, the Akron Police Department SWAT Unit and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Joyce.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
