Malden Man Faces Federal Drug Trafficking Charge

MALDEN, MA — A Malden man was arrested Thursday in connection with a drug trafficking enterprise. Dhamari Jordan, 20, known as "DMO" and "DMO Crashout," was charged with conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute a controlled substance, the U.S. Attorney's office said.

Jordan and others were recorded selling fentanyl, cocaine and cocaine base to an undercover officer three times in January 2021, the USAO said. Jordan was already on pretrial release for a pending weapons case in Cambridge District Court from June 2019, federal authorities said.

In January 2020, Jordan was arrested by Boston police in a car where a gun and pills containing heroin were found, the USAO said. He also posted a music video online depicting him holding guns in a kitchen where cocaine was being cooked into crack cocaine, authorities said.

A loaded 9-mm gun was found in Jordan's home during the execution of a search warrant Thursday, the USAO said.

If convicted, Jordan faces up to 20 years in prison, at least three years and up to life of supervised release and a $1 million fine.
