Terrance Colvin, 39, of Columbus, was convicted on six charges related to a large-scale drug trafficking scheme after a federal jury evaluated evidence against him. According to court documents, Colvin was discovered with a big quantity of cocaine weighing 28 kilograms hidden in a car transported from California to the Polaris Fashion Place in Ohio.
According to the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Ohio, the verdict came after a trial that began on January 28 before US District Judge Edmund A. Sargus, Jr. Colvin’s past includes several legal violations, including narcotics and gun offenses, which complicate his current circumstances.
During the trial, it was revealed that Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Albuquerque alerted local agents after a commercial automobile carrier was pulled over by New Mexico State Police in May 2024. Investigators discovered the delivery turned bust at Polaris Fashion Place, uncovering the vehicle’s modified compartments that contained both methamphetamine and cocaine. Colvin was detained after making a scheduled delivery at the parking lot of Polaris mall and transferring phony narcotics into a duffel bag under the supervision of law enforcement.
Investigators searched Colvin’s 801 Polaris Apartments house and discovered other narcotics, including fentanyl, as well as three loaded firearms—all while he was a previously convicted felon forbidden from owning weapons. “Assistant United States Attorneys Kevin W. Kelley and S. Courter Shimeall are representing the United States in this case,” according to a Department of Justice statement.
