Madison男子为家族贩毒集团送毒判刑10年：背包与住所查获冰毒、芬太尼与两支手枪
美国司法部威斯康星西区联邦检察官办公室宣布，威斯康星州戴恩县 Madison 市男子 Dajuea M. Purnell（28岁）上周在联邦法院被判处10年联邦监禁，其后须接受5年监督释放。联邦地区法官 William M. Conley 作出判决。Purnell 已于2026年8月3日就共谋分销500克以上冰毒、400克以上芬太尼，以及以重罪前科人员身份持枪等指控认罪。
据检察官办公室公布，执法部门自2024年初起调查一个在 Dane County 活动的贩毒组织，该组织由被告的父亲 Jamar Purnell 领导，Dajuea Purnell 是主要分销人之一，替父亲交付冰毒、掺芬太尼的海洛因与可卡因。2024年7月2日与7月9日，他先后在 Madison 向一名线人交付655克与336克冰毒。
2024年7月19日，执法人员在 Madison 一名同伙住所外将 Purnell 逮捕，其背包内查获280克冰毒、163克芬太尼、17克可卡因、11,460美元现金与一台电子秤，附近车内另有一支带加长弹匣的上膛 Glock 19X 9毫米手枪。同日搜查其住所，再查获1,139克冰毒、513克芬太尼及类似物、871克可卡因、两台电子秤与另一支 Glock 手枪。Purnell 因有重罪前科，依法不得持有枪支弹药；被捕时他还因一宗芬太尼贩运前科案处于州监管之下，该监管其后被撤销，他在该案另被判2年州监禁。
法官 Conley 量刑时权衡了其在组织中的角色、监管期间持枪等情节，以及其年龄较轻、被父亲带入共谋等因素。本案由联邦缉毒局（DEA）、烟酒枪炮及爆炸物管理局（ATF）Madison 犯罪枪支专案组、威斯康星州司法部刑事调查局、Dane County 缉毒专案组等多家机构联合调查，助理联邦检察官 Steven P. Anderson 与 David Reinhard 起诉。（来源：美国司法部）
Madison Man Sentenced to 10 Years in Family Drug Trafficking Case: Meth, Fentanyl and Two Pistols Seized
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Wisconsin announced that Dajuea M. Purnell, 28, of Madison, in Dane County, Wisconsin, was sentenced last week by U.S. District Judge William M. Conley to 10 years in federal prison for conspiracy to distribute 500 grams or more of methamphetamine and 400 grams or more of fentanyl, and for possessing a firearm as a convicted felon. The prison term will be followed by 5 years of supervised release. Purnell pleaded guilty to the charges on August 3, 2026.
In early 2024, law enforcement began investigating a drug trafficking organization operating in Dane County led by Jamar Purnell. Dajuea Purnell was identified as a primary distributor for the organization, delivering methamphetamine, heroin laced with fentanyl, and cocaine on behalf of his father. On July 2, 2024, he distributed 655 grams of methamphetamine to a confidential informant in Madison, and on July 9, 2024, he distributed another 336 grams.
On July 19, 2024, officers arrested Purnell as he left a co-conspirator's residence in Madison. His backpack contained 280 grams of methamphetamine, 163 grams of fentanyl, 17 grams of cocaine, $11,460 in cash, and a digital scale, and a loaded Glock 19X 9mm pistol with an extended magazine was found in his car nearby. A search of his Madison residence the same day seized 1,139 grams of methamphetamine, 513 grams of fentanyl and fentanyl analogues, 871 grams of cocaine, two digital scales, and another Glock pistol. Purnell is prohibited from possessing firearms because of a prior felony conviction, and at the time he was on state supervision for a prior fentanyl trafficking conviction, which was later revoked and resulted in a 2-year state prison sentence in that case.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the ATF Madison Crime Gun Task Force, the Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation, the Dane County Narcotics Task Force, and other agencies, and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Steven P. Anderson and David Reinhard. (Source: U.S. Department of Justice)
