Glen Burnie man sentenced to 6 years in prison for drug money laundering

U.S. District Judge Deborah K. Chasanow sentenced Gerrod Davis, 46, of Glen Burnie, Maryland, to six years and three months in federal prison for laundering more than $1.8 million in drug proceeds.

The sentencing was announced by Erek L. Barron, U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland; Jarod Forget, Special Agent in Charge of the DEA Washington Field Division; and Chief Robert McCullough of the Baltimore County Police Department.

According to Davis’ guilty plea, he managed large amounts of cash narcotics proceeds for a drug trafficking organization, while his associates handled street-level distribution. Davis laundered the money by transporting large sums of money to an individual posing as a representative of a Mexican cartel. These transactions were intended to promote the organization and conceal the source of the proceeds. Between July 2020 and May 2021, Davis laundered or attempted to launder at least $1,811,611.

This case is part of an investigation by the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF), which targets high-level criminal organizations through a collaborative, multi-agency approach.
