A Memphis man, Darian Glover, 28, has been indicted on charges of distributing fentanyl that resulted in three fatalities. The announcement came from Joseph C. Murphy, Jr., Interim United States Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee. The investigation was carried out by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Collierville Police Department.
Jim Scott, Special Agent in Charge of DEA’s Louisville Division, commented on the case: “Our hearts go out to the victims’ families in this tragic case. Fentanyl is a scourge plaguing America, and the dedicated men and women of the Drug Enforcement Administration will stop at nothing to rid this poison from our communities.”
Chief Dale Lane of the Collierville Police Department emphasized collaboration: “We appreciate the partnership we have with the DEA. It is vitally important that law enforcement organizations work together to interdict illegal fentanyl, disrupt supply chains, and hold those accountable for distributing this deadly drug.”
The indictment alleges that Glover distributed fentanyl around June 21, 2024. If found guilty, he could face a federal prison term ranging from 20 years to life without parole. Additionally, Glover may be fined up to $1 million and serve at least three years under supervised release after imprisonment.
Assistant United States Attorney Wendy K. Cornejo is prosecuting this case. The charges are currently accusations; Glover remains presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in court proceedings.
If convicted, sentencing will be determined by various factors unique to his case including any prior criminal record or role in the offense.
