Between the months of August, 2021 and November, 2021, the Harford County Narcotics Task Force
\nconducted a lengthy investigation involving numerous individuals engaged in a drug trafficking conspiracy
\nthroughout Harford County. Utilizing court ordered surveillance, investigators identified Geoffrey Raheim
\nBrown as an importer of illicit narcotics and Keneil Carlos Callender as his supplier.<\/p>\n
Through additional surveillance methods, Task Force detectives and federal agents of the United States Drug
\nEnforcement Administration observed a meeting between Geoffrey Brown and Keneil Callender at Keneil
\nCallender\u2019s residence in New Jersey for the purpose of acquiring cocaine. Subsequent to that meeting,
\ninvestigators became aware that Geofrey Brown utilized couriers to make trips from Maryland to Keneil
\nCallender\u2019s residence in New Jersey to acquire illegal narcotics for street level distribution. One of the couriers,
\nidentified as Danita Ginette Cromwell, met with Keniel Callender on November 12, 2021 at Geofrey Brown\u2019s
\ndirection at a restaurant in New Jersey. Following this meeting, Danita Cromwell drove back to Maryland,
\nwhere she was then stopped by law enforcement. During a search of her vehicle, investigators recovered more
\nthan 300 grams of cocaine and more than 100 grams of a cutting agent. Also seized were 336 grams of
\nmarijuana. The drugs that were seized were intended to be delivered to Geofrey Brown so he could redistribute
\nthem in Harford County.<\/p>\n
On July 18, 2022, the Honorable Emory A. Plitt Jr. sentenced Geofrey Raheim Brown to 12 years of
\nincarceration to be served at the Division of Corrections. Upon release, Mr. Brown will be subject to four years
