Freddie Anthony Curry, 54, was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison following his conviction for possessing with intent to distribute over 400 grams of fentanyl and more than 500 grams of cocaine. Curry, who has prior felony convictions, was also found in possession of a Glock 19 handgun—an offense that carries additional weight under federal law due to his criminal history.
Authorities began investigating Curry in May 2024 as part of a broader operation targeting narcotics distribution networks in the Baltimore region. A joint effort by the FBI and DEA led to the execution of search warrants at Curry’s residence and vehicle. Investigators recovered nearly a kilogram of fentanyl and over a kilogram of cocaine, along with drug-packaging materials, digital scales, and the firearm. The seized fentanyl alone had the potential to produce tens of thousands of lethal doses.
Curry’s case falls under the Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) initiative, a federal strategy focused on reducing gun violence and fostering community safety. The PSN framework promotes coordination between federal, state, and local authorities to more effectively target repeat offenders and violent criminals.

The prosecution also aligns with the Baltimore Strike Force Initiative, a collaboration of multiple law enforcement agencies including the FBI, DEA, ATF, and local police departments. These teams operate side-by-side to dismantle major drug trafficking and transnational criminal organizations that contribute to gun violence and overdose deaths in the region.
Curry’s sentence reflects a concerted federal approach to reducing the availability of deadly narcotics in Maryland communities. Residents may continue to see visible enforcement actions and federal involvement in cases involving fentanyl and firearms as part of broader public safety initiatives.
