BALTIMORE, MD – Gerrod Davis, 46, from Glen Burnie, Maryland, has been sentenced to six years and three months in federal prison for his role in laundering more than $1.8 million derived from drug trafficking. U.S. District Judge Deborah K. Chasanow issued the sentence today, as announced by U.S. Attorney Erek L. Barron, along with key figures from the DEA and Baltimore County Police.
As per his guilty plea, Davis was implicated in a drug trafficking organization where he managed bulk cash from narcotics sales while his associates handled the direct distribution on the streets. The organization pooled their proceeds, which Davis then laundered through interactions with someone purportedly linked to a Mexican Cartel. His activities included “money drops,” moving large sums intended to support and obscure the drug trafficking operation’s financial trail.
From July 20, 2020, to May 6, 2021, Davis was responsible for laundering or attempting to launder at least $1,811,611, aiming to promote the drug trafficking organization and maintain its connection with the Cartel while hiding the illicit origins of the funds.
