A Maryland man has been found guilty by a federal jury for his involvement in drug distribution activities. Sean Shaka Myles Sr., aged 50, from Baltimore, was convicted of conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute over 500 grams of cocaine hydrochloride, over 40 grams of fentanyl, and a detectable amount of p-fluorofentanyl.
Court records and trial evidence revealed that between July 1, 2022, and June 8, 2023, Myles supplied Omar Jermel Dixon, aged 48, from Fredericksburg, with the drugs. Dixon then redistributed these substances to various individuals in the Fredericksburg area.
Myles faces a mandatory minimum sentence of ten years and could receive up to life imprisonment when sentenced on June 18. Federal crime sentences are often less than the maximum penalties due to considerations by a federal district court judge based on U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
The announcement was made by Erik S. Siebert, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia; Stanley M. Meador, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Richmond Field Office; Ibrar A. Mian, Special Agent in Charge for the DEA’s Washington Division; and Jason S. Miyares, Attorney General of Virginia after U.S. District Judge David J. Novak accepted the verdict.
The investigation was assisted by the Fredericksburg Regional Narcotics Task Force with Assistant U.S. Attorney Olivia L. Norman and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric Gilliland prosecuting the case.
This conviction is part of an Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) operation aimed at dismantling high-level criminal organizations using a multi-agency approach.
