United States of America v. Jennifer Canales and Ali Bashir Milad

Tulsa, Oklahoma criminal lawyers represented Defendants charged with conspiracy to distribute drugs.



Jennifer Canales, age 31, and Ali Bashir Milad, age 33, both of Tulsa, were arrested on January 28, 2021 when Tulsa police officers executed a search warrant on Caneles' residence. Officers located just over 600 grams of fentanyl, a pill press, a blender used to mix the drug, cutting agents, and scales used to weigh the product. They also found two firearms and ammunition. Canales told officers the residence was hers and that she knew that Milad, who lived there, sold drugs. Milad was later arrested.



On April 15, 2021, a second search warrant was conducted at the residence. Officers found Canales hiding inside the home. In total, officers located approximately 1,280 grams of Fentanyl contained in multiple bags inside the residence, nearly $23,000 in cash, and a ledger that Canales used in the drug trafficking operation.



The Drug Enforcement Administration and Tulsa Police Department conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Joel-lyn A. McCormick prosecuted the case.
