A federal grand jury indicted a Lansing man for illegal firearm possession and narcotics trafficking, and he risks significant jail time. U.S. Attorney Mark Totten for the Western District of Michigan announced that 43-year-old Kevin Dunson was charged with intent to distribute large amounts of cocaine and methamphetamine in addition to felon possession of guns. These allegations follow Dunson’s initial arrest on November 1st, which was based on the identical charges in a federal criminal complaint.
The actions that resulted in Dunson’s indictment came after a protracted investigation by law officials, which included searches of his residence and other sites connected to his Lansing drug operations on October 29. Four kilos of methamphetamine and around two kilograms of cocaine were found during the searches, along with four firearms and a sizable cash pile totaling $544,697, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a statement. Dunson has a history of felony convictions, and his possession of firearms makes his legal issues worse.
While the guns charges add up to a potential additional 15-year sentence, the drug charges alone could land Dunson in prison for at least 10 years, with the possibility of a life sentence. The DEA, Tri-County Metro Narcotics Team, state police, and Lansing’s local law enforcement all worked together in this investigation, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Joel S. Fauson spearheading the prosecution.
