According to evidence presented in court, Green distributed fentanyl between January and September 2022. He operated from a residence in Accokeek, where he sold the drug directly to users and other dealers. He also arranged in-person deliveries at various locations. Investigators revealed that Green employed individuals to test the fentanyl he mixed with other substances and used runners to deliver the drug outside his home.
Law enforcement agencies, including the Drug Enforcement Administration, Prince George’s County Police Department, Charles County Sheriff’s Office, and Maryland State Police, collaborated on the investigation. Officials emphasized that Green’s conviction is part of an ongoing effort to combat the distribution of fentanyl, a substance linked to numerous fatal overdoses.

Green’s sentencing will be determined by a federal district court judge, who will consider U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other legal factors. U.S. District Judge Deborah K. Chasanow has scheduled a sentencing hearing for a later date.
Federal prosecutors commended the efforts of law enforcement in securing Green’s conviction. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Darren S. Gardner and Brooke Oki.
