Description:
North Dakota Felon Charged with Minnesota Methamphetamine Trafficking Conspiracy
Jerami Cody Leno, a North Dakota man, has been indicted for multiple criminal charges, including conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, felon in possession of a firearm, and possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Lisa D. Kirkpatrick.
According to court documents, from February 2024 through July 24, 2024, Jerami Cody Leno, 48, intentionally conspired with others to possess and distribute methamphetamine in and around Minnesota. On February 7, 2024, Leno was found in possession of a Smith & Wesson .40 caliber semi-automatic pistol. Because Leno has a prior felony conviction in Yellowstone County, Montana, for criminal possession of dangerous drugs, he is prohibited under federal law from possessing firearms or ammunition at any time.
The indictment charges Leno with one count of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine, three counts of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, one count of illegal possession of a firearm as a felon, and one count of possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. He made his initial appearance in U.S. District Court before Magistrate Judge Jon T. Huseby on March 4, 2025.
"Methamphetamine is flooding Minnesota. This includes our small towns in greater Minnesota,†said Acting U.S. Attorney Lisa D. Kirkpatrick. "I appreciate the partnership of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office and the Wilkin County Sheriff's Office. The U.S. Attorney's Office serves every corner of this state. We will continue to rely on our state and local partners so that together, we can identify those who peddle deadly poison to our communities and bring them to federal justice.â€
This case is the result of an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the Minnesota State Patrol, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, and the Wilkin County Sheriff's Office.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Campbell Warner is prosecuting the case.
