A man from Washington, D.C., will serve ten years in prison for his role in a massive narcotics trafficking operation involving PCP and fentanyl. A judge imposed the sentence on Monday.
Norman Morris, 45, alias “Fibble,” was convicted last year of one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute phencyclidine (PCP). Judge Dabney Friedrich sentenced Morris to 121 months in prison and three years of supervised release.
“Norman Morris helped fuel the distribution of dangerous narcotics, including PCP and fentanyl, throughout the District of Columbia for years. Today’s sentence sends a clear message that individuals who profit from poisoning our communities will be held accountable,” U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said in a statement. “I commend the DEA and FBI for their relentless work dismantling this trafficking operation and helping make our neighborhoods safer.”
According to court records and trial testimony, the DEA and FBI launched a criminal investigation into local PCP and fentanyl distributors in September 2023, including Morris and co-defendants Lamont M. Langston, Kelvin Sanker, and Jamar Bennett.
Morris allegedly made drug trades outside the home he shared with his mother in Northeast D.C. on a regular basis.
One of Morris’ regular customers testified that Morris provided him fentanyl “pretty much daily” for a long time, dating back to the pandemic. Law enforcement monitored the transactions from November 2023 to March 2024. During this time, Bennett and Langston were seen meeting at Morris’ house to exchange suspected narcotics and cash.
During the investigation, Bennett sold nearly two kilograms of PCP to undercover detectives in nine transactions.
Bennett, 46, pleaded guilty on April 11, 2024, to conspiracy to distribute one kilogram or more of PCP and unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and was sentenced to 121 months in prison.
Sanker, 44, pleaded guilty on October 22, 2024, to conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute PCP and was sentenced to 65 months in prison.Langston, 45, pleaded guilty on December 19, 2024, to conspiracy to distribute one kilogram or more of PCP and was sentenced to 138 months.
