Summary
- Baltimore man sentenced to seven years in federal prison.
- Involved in trafficking fentanyl, meth, and cocaine.
- Fugitive for 1.5 years using multiple aliases.
Charles Delroy Singletary, 45, of Baltimore, has received a seven-year federal prison sentence for his role in a drug trafficking scheme that operated in West Virginia's Berkeley and Jefferson counties. Singletary was an integral part of an organization that distributed substantial amounts of fentanyl, methamphetamine, and cocaine.
His conviction stems from a 2024 indictment that named 82 defendants from Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. Singletary notably spent 18 months as a fugitive, employing multiple aliases to elude capture by authorities during the investigation.
The broader investigation led to the seizure of 10 kilograms of fentanyl, cocaine, firearms, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in assets. As of December 9th, all 82 defendants have been convicted, with 81 having already been sentenced.
