U.S. District Judge Deborah K. Chasanow sentenced Gerrod Davis, 46, of Glen Burnie, Maryland, to six years and three months in federal prison for laundering over $1.8 million in drug proceeds.
The sentencing was announced by Erek L. Barron, U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland; Jarod Forget, Special Agent in Charge of the DEA Washington Field Division; and Chief Robert McCullough of the Baltimore County Police Department.
According to Davis’s guilty plea, he managed bulk cash narcotics proceeds for a drug trafficking organization while his associates handled street-level distribution. Davis laundered the cash by transporting large sums to an individual posing as a representative of a Mexican cartel. These transactions aimed to promote the organization and conceal the origins of the proceeds. Between July 2020 and May 2021, Davis laundered or attempted to launder at least $1,811,611.
This case is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) investigation, which targets high-level criminal organizations through a collaborative, multi-agency approach.
