Two plead guilty with intent to distribute

The United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma has announced that Devier T. Washington, 24, of Arizona, and Gabriel D. Cunningham, 28, of Maryland, each entered guilty pleas to one count of possession with intent to distribute fentanyl. The indictment alleged that on March 29, 2022, Washington and Cunningham knowingly possessed 400 grams of fentanyl, a Schedule II controlled substance, intending to distribute it.

The charge arose from an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Roland Police Department.

The Honorable Gerald L. Jackson, U.S. Magistrate Judge in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, accepted both defendants’ pleas. Washington and Cunningham were remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshal pending the completion of pre-sentence investigation reports.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Erin Cornell represented the United States.
